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

Movin' fast doin' ninety-five
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
I 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 mind in Detroit Rock City

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

(2x)
Get up!
Everybody's gonna' move their feet
Get down!
