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

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

Get up (everybody's gonna movе their feet)
Get down (everybody's gonna leave their seat)
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Moving fast doin' 95
Hit top speed, but I'm moving much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
I hear my song playing on the radio
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)

You gotta lose your mind 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 we're gonna die, why?

Get up (everybody's gonna move their feet)
Get down (everybody's gonna leave their seat)
Get up (everybody's gonna move their feet)
Get down (everybody's gonna leave their seat)
