Detroit

There's a shiny city west of here Where dreams are booming into gear It's no humm-drumm 9 to 5 town It's a growing, going, bright, alive town Golden sparks light up the skies there like a thousand 4th of Julys there How I want to stake a claim in, roll up my sleeves and make a name in DETROIT You can hear it humming See it coming Feel it everywhere you go It's tomorrow morning The future dawning with a bright and shining glow It's the land where golden chariots are molded out of dreams DETROIT DETROIT DETROIT DETROIT It's DETROIT Oh, if I could be there I'd be free there Standing on my own two feet I'd invent new motors Design new rotors I'd be in the driver's seat I'd make all my dreams realities for I'd be on my way in DETROIT DETROIT DETROIT DETROIT In DETROIT Others are giving their dreams a try If others can dream there, why can't I? So you see where the rainbow ends for me is known to the world as F.O.B. DETROIT If you hear it humming See it coming That's the place where you must go For to make your name there You must take your claim there and let no one tell you no Then my dreams of golden chariots in Detroit can all come true For you hear it humming And you see it coming And you want to be there, too
