[Verse 1]
I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o'clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song, and it pulls me through
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, and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car, and I try to make the midnight show
[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

[Verse 3]
Moving fast, down 95
Hit top speed, but I'm still moving much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
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

[Bridge]
You gotta lose your life in Detroit Rock City

[Verse 4]
Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights staring at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why
[Chorus]
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down

Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Get down
