Lyrics
Detroit Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some men are born to be dream-chasers
Runnin’ with the Detroit man
Some men are born to be dream-wasters
Runnin’ with the Detroit man
He’s a stranger in a foreign land
And the Law don’t give a damn
‘Bout the Detroit man
Runnin’ with the Detroit man
Some men are good with cars and guitars
Runnin’ with the Detroit man
Some men are bad with guns and tin stars
Runnin’ with the Detroit man
He’s a stranger in a foreign land
And the law don’t give a damn
‘Bout the Detroit man
Runnin’ with the Detroit man
He’s just runnin’ with the Detroit man
Runnin’ with the Detroit man
