[Intro]
D Am C G
D Am C G
[Verse 1]
D Am
Readin' and writin' on Route 23
C G
It's hard to believe we've made it this far
D Am
So come on boys and grab your coats
C G
Detroit's waitin' so get in the car
[Break]

2x
[Verse 2]
D Am
Well the wind it blows cold but the girls are on fire
C G
They say they're the prettiest things you have seen
D Am
And I ain't a gambler but I'd bet the farm
C G
That Detroit's a gold mine waiting for me
[Instrumental]
DAmCG
x2
[Verse 3]
D Am
The sidewalks are always jammed in this town
C G
I feel like a dam that's about to cut loose
D Am
And the girls they say, will treat you fine
C G
Beg for your silver 'til you can't refuse
[Break]
D Am C G
[Verse 4]
D Am
And I'd love to go back to the hills where I was born
C G
Instead of workin' on cars that I can't afford
D Am
My pockets are empty my patience is torn
C G
Oh look what's become of me
[Break]
D Am C G
[Verse 5]
D Am
Mama I'm writin' to tell you I'm fine
C G
I'm workin' real hard and I pray every night
D Am
So don't you worry I'm happy and free
C G
Detroit's been like a blessing to me
