Capo 1(Key: Eb)
[Intro]
D Am C G
D Am C G
 
[Verse 1]
D                      Am
Readin' and writin' on Route 23
     C                    G
It's hard to believe we've made it 

this far
   D                Am
So come on boys and grab your coats
C                    G
Detroit's waitin' so get in the car
 
[Break]
D Am C G 2x
 
[Verse 2]
         D                          Am
Well the wind it blows cold but the girls 

are on fire
     C                         G
They say they're the prettiest things 

you have seen
    D                 Am
And I ain't a gambler but I'd bet the farm
     C                     G
That Detroit's a gold mine waiting for me
 
[Instrumental]
D Am C G x2
 
[Verse 3]
    D                    Am
The sidewalks are always jammed in this town
  C                       G
I feel like a dam that's about to cut loose
        D                    Am
And the girls they say, will treat you fine
C                            G
Beg for your silver 'til you can't refuse
 
[Break]
D Am C G
 
[Verse 4]
        D                      Am
And I'd love to go back to the hills

 where I was born
                      C    
Instead of workin' on cars 
     G
that I can't afford
   D                    Am
My pockets are empty my patience is torn
   C              G
Oh look what's become of me
 
[Break]
D Am C G
 
[Verse 5]
D                   Am
Mama I'm writin' to tell you I'm fine
    C                       G
I'm workin' real hard and I pray every night
   D                   Am
So don't you worry I'm happy and free
C                     G
Detroit's been like a blessing to me
