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
