Lyrics:
in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm just fine, yes they do
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
If only
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney
the schoolgirl that used to be meâ?¦.
Ah, the apple trees,
Where at garden teas,
Jack-o-lanterns swung:
Fashions of the day,
Vests of applique,
Dresses
huh
Well, I looked at him and caught him lookin' at me
I knew right then we were playin' free in Oregon
Next day, we knew last night got drunk
But
I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make the cars, by night I ake the bars
If only they could read
lonesome
I declare when the one you love is not around
When the sun go down
Last night, I were layin' sleepin'
I declare, I was sleepin' all by myself
Last
we hooked after school one day
Went on some dates and we spent spring break
Together and then one night at his spot
While watching T.V. things got
yesterday
And what about tomorrow
And what about our dreams
And all the memories we share
The days they pass so quickly now
Nights are seldom long
inside
He could see the answer shining in her eyes
[Chorus]
Well from that day on
You couldn't keep them apart
They were side by side, heart
word.
Came a thousand miles
Just to catch you while you're smiling.
What a day for laughter
And walking at night.
Me following after, your hand
need to know you're there anytime of the day and night
I need somebody who's willing to listen
Shining, shining, shining, shining so brightly right now
Sleep all day
Hunt 'til four
Maybe catch a couple of rodents
You know, a carnivore
Sheep in the meadow nibbling on some clover
One of those sheep
at least a grand
Gold on my neck, my pistols close at hand
I'm a self-made monster of the city streets
Remotely controlled by hard hip-hop beats
But just
The other night I met a girl and she looked to be so nice
I asked her for the digits and she didn't think twice
A couple of days later called her up
would come by
The forecast is zero
And the chill factors high
You know the chill factors higher
On a cold windy day
But there's no wind this
The nights are so lonely and the days pass me by
True love has faded, left me behind
So we'll just move along and stop wasting time
It's over all
Talk to me baby, I want to sleep at night
My heart is heavy, it's weighed down by the night.
And now I'm lonely, I want to see the light
So deep
on a Saturday night
She didn't have to say what she was feeling inside
He could see the answer shining in her eyes
We'll from that day on
You couldn't keep them
and gay.
Just once around the clock and then goodbye, dear. Love likes to fly by night so let it fly, dear.
Love likes to fly by night so let it fly, dear
big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write, they think I'm fine
But by day, I make the cars
and by night I make the bars
If only they could
that stone
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy
Got to break that stone
Well, you had a big time last night
And some of your heads are tight
But when I
to the rain and the wind
And I played my guitar through the night to the day
Turn, turn, turn again
And the only tune my guitar could play
Was, "Oh the cruel

From the letters that I write they think I'm just fine, yes they do
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
If only
oh Lord I wanna go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make the cars by
