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
  Probably die there
  With all my long hair
  Detroit City
  You feel your heart beat
  You hit the concrete
  Dance the mean streets
  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
  We don`t belong here
  Detroit City
  You feel your heart beat
  Hit the concrete
  Dance the mean street
  Detroit City
    Well I was born there
  Probably die there
  With all my long hair
  Detroit City
  You feel your heart beat
  You hit the concrete
  Dance the mean street
  Detroit City
