Me and Iggy were giggin' with Ziggy and kickin' with the MC5 Ted and Seger were burnin' with fever And let the Silver bullets fly The Kid was in his crib, shady wore a bib And the posse wasn`t even alive Shock rock choppin' block, songs to make your heart stop Shovie it in ta overdrive
Playing loud and fast Make that guitar blast Playing like today will be your last
Well I was born there Gonna die there With all my long hair Detroit City
You feel your heart beat You hit the concrete Dance the mean street Detroit City
There`s a riot raging downtown Tryin' to burn the place down Skies glowin; red and grey But the Riff kept a Rockin' The Creem kept a-talkin' And the streets still smokin' today
Playing loud and fast Make that guitar blast Playing like today will be your last
Well I was born there Gonna die there With all my long hair Detroit City
You feel your heart beat You hit the concrete Dance the mean street Detroit City
Six mile seven mile eight mile nine mile ten mile eleven mile Detroit city
Louder - Faster - Louder Detroit City
Well I was born there Gonna die there With all my long hair Detroit City You feel your heart beat You hit the concrete Dance the mean street Detroit City (Repeat)
