Man I miss the motown beat
People were dancing in the street
Lost forever in the Detroit groove
Hey it's time I made my move
When I'm blue I just stomp my feet
You're never alone with the motown beat

Detroit is just a ghost town now
Left to rot and decay wow
It ruled the world as the auto city
Those days are gone such a pity
Thousands left by day and by night
That coined the phrase white flight

Man I miss the motown beat
Smoking can you feel the heat
Lost forever in the Detroit groove
Shake your thing you got nothing to prove
Let yourself go your life is complete
You're never alone with the motown beat 

The place they called motor city
Died a death that ain't so pretty
Nowhere to run to nowhere to hide
A broken heart cries deep inside
People are strong they will survive
Rising from the ashes they come alive

Man I miss the motown beat
People were dancing in the street
Lost forever in the Detroit groove
Hey it's time I made my move
When I'm blue I just stomp my feet
You're never alone with the motown beat
