Lyrics

Henry Ford had this big idea
Build cars and factories
So we came to Detroit City
Blacks, Jews and Hillbillies

Chorus/
We were made in the motor city
Motor city - that’s where we’re from
Made in the Motor City
Motor City number one

9 to five on the line
side by side you and me
quitting’ time we go riding in our
Detroit muscle machines

Chorus/

At the Fox we got Marvin, Martha,
the Tops, the Tempts and a Wonder who’s blind
Grande’s got the (Psychedelic) Stooges, Amboy Dukes
and the MC5

Chorus

Bridge/
Riding Woodward on a Friday night
Burnin rubber, letting off steam
We build em, we drive em
Best damn place in the world to be

Chorus

We got the dial on the ABX
making love, smoking weed
You can take me out of the motor city
But you can’t take the motor city out of me

Chorus
