Detroit Rock City lyrics

I feel uptight on a Saturday night

Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light

I hear my song and it pulls me through

Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do

I got to

Get up

Everybody's gonna move their feet

Get down

Everybody's gonna leave their seat

You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Get up

Everybody's gonna move their feet

Get down

Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Getting late

I just can't wait

Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road

First I drink, then I smoke

Start the car, and I try to make the midnight show

Get up

Everybody's gonna move their feet

Get down

Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Movin' fast, doin' ninety five

Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow

I feel so good, I'm so alive

I hear my song playin' on the radio

It goes

Get up

Everybody's gonna move their feet

Get down

Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock

There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes

Oh my God, no time to turn

I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die

Why

Get up

Everybody's gonna move their feet

Get up

Everybody's gonna leave their seat
