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

Get up
Everybody's going to move their feet
Get down
Everybody's going to leave their seat

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

Get up
Everybody's going to move their feet
Get down
Everybody's going to leave their seat
Moving fast, down 95
I hit top speed but I'm still moving much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
I hear my song playing on the radio
It goes

Get up
Everybody's going to move their feet
Get down
Everybody's going to leave their seat

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

Get up
Everybody's going to leave their seat
Get up
Everybody’s going to move their feet
Get down
Everybody's going to leave their seat
