back to...

...Detroit Downtown,
Alley, surrounded by abandoned buildings

...
It's a hard wind blows through the buildings and empty lots
as the corner of Michigan and 31st waits in ruin
and the echoes of happy shoppers faded long, long, long ago
back when Chrysler, GM and Ford went mad with greed

Oh, how we hoped it would turn out right
going back to Detroit

Kid could ride his bike through any neighborhood in town
no fear of getting jacked for his sneakers
drive-bys only happened to the purple gang
back before the rebellion of '67

Still we dreamed it could turn out right
moving back to Detroit.....
