[13th CW] CITY SONGS: "DETROIT CITY", TEXAS



This 2013 song by the Scottish band Texas was devoted to the American city of Detroit, in Michigan, famous for its once important car industry and music home of the Motown style. Lyrics of song below after video.


Said you got tired of the same old rock n rollLet's anew at sunset life with a lot more soul
Well I know you spend a lot of time alone in your headRemember what you saidI never thought you'd be so easily lead
One million lights, they're burning our eyes til the morningRun for our lives as you watch all the cars on the freeway
And you said I... I come from Detroit CityI... I'm hard to satisfyAnd I want someone like you, you look so prettyIn Detroit City
You said you got some on the city again, it's dreamsThey make cuts in the heat while the siren screams
I couldn't believe someone like me would leave you so weakWe're dancing in the streetYou know we don't need no sleep
One million lights, they're burning our eyes til the morningRun for our lives as you watch all the cars on the freeway
And you said I... I come from Detroit CityI... I'm hard to satisfyAnd I want someone like you, you look so prettyIn Detroit City
And now the lights are burning outAnd now the boys are turning backBut you stay here with meIn the city
And he said I... I come from Detroit CityI... I'm hard to satisfyAnd I want someone like you, you look so prettyIn Detroit City
Detroit CityDetroit CityDetroit CityDetroit, Detroit, Detroit
