[Verse 1]
I feel uptight on Saturday night
Nine o'clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song, it pulls me through
It comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to

[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

[Verse 2]
Getting late
I just can't wait
Ten o'clock, you know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car, try to make the midnight show
Let's go!

[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

[Verse 3]
Moving fast, doing 95
I hit top speed, still moving much too slow
I feel so good, so alive
I'm so alive!
I hear my song playing on the radio
It goes

[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

[Verse 4]
Twelve o'clock, I gotta gotta rock!
There's a truck ahead, lights staring at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh; I know I'm gonna die
Why?

[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
