I feel uptight on a Saturday night Nine o'clock, the radio's the only light I hear my song and it pulls me through Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do I got to

Get up Everybody's gonna move their feet Get down Everybody's gonna leave their seat You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City Get up Everybody's gonna move their feet Get down Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Getting late I just can't wait Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road First I drink, then I smoke Start the car, and I try to make the midnight show

Get up Everybody's gonna move their feet Get down Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Moving fast, down 95 Hit top speed, but I'm still moving much too slow I feel so good, I'm so alive Hear my song playin' on the radio It goes

Get up Everybody's gonna move their feet Get down Everybody's gonna leave their seat

You gotta lose your life in Detroit Rock City

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock There's a truck ahead, lights staring at my eyes Oh my God, no time to turn I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die Why?

Get up Everybody's gonna move their feet Get down Get up Everybody's gonna leave their seat Get down
