Lyrics
De-troit motor city's coming back, we're bound for our survival.
We're a rock and roll city on a quarter mile track, we're gonna rock Detroit's revival.
From Plymouth Rock to Monterey Pop we've seen some great arrivals
But you're never gonna see another gig like this when we rock Detroit's revival.
We're the upper hand gonna make this stand on a fast dirt track, with a motor city band
Chrome and steel on a four lane highway, no speed limit gonna do it my way
From MoTown Hitsville, USA to the Grande Ballroom everyone say,
The Motor city rockers are the prime filet, they rock that boogie 'till the break of day.
Mo-tor-ci-tys-com-ing-back
Mi-chi-gan is right on track
We're the upper hand that's gonna lift you up, 'till we all have a taste from the golden cup
Grab the brass ring, crown the rock king, no arresting, no protesting
Get on board with the diesel locomotive, Chrysler,GM,Ford are the primary motive
We build'em fast and we build'em tough, no city in the world gonna beat our stuff.
