lyrics

Goodbye e Detroit City
(Burgess)
They called him Detroit city
But his name was tricky steve
Nobody saw him comin’
But we all saw him leave
It’s a sad day for a man
Who gives up on this dream
I tried to cry for help for you son
But I couldn’t find the words to scream
So goodbye Detroit City
I sure do wish you well
I’ll pray for those that drove you
‘cause they drove you straight to hell
And should that earth dry up
While she’s beneath your feet
You would not know her secrets
You would not be her king
So goodbye Detroit City
I sure do wish you well
I’ll pray for those that drove you
‘cause they drove you straight to hell
Hello 75
It’s gonna be a long long night
I’ll meet you at the pilot
On that Mason-Dixon line
Will the last man left turn out the lights?
