1 Going Back to Detroit Lyrics(Goin' back) I heard about a swingin' place
They say the folks have all got soul
And that's where I'm on my way
Because the soul I will uphold
Ha! Everybody's clapping their hands
And stomping their feet
And they say it all started (Goin' back)
When they opened that crazy beat
I've got to go (Goin' back)
I can't take it no more
Hey, listen to the beat, ha!
Hey, it's alright now (Goin' back)
Baby, it's alright
I've got to go (Goin' back)
I can't take it no more
I'm goin' insane
And I'm lonely for 12th and Blaine
Oh, how sweet it is
Oh, how sweet it is
I've got to go (Goin' back)
To the Motor City, ha!

And the girls are all so pretty
Hey, listen to the beat
I've got to go (Goin' back)
I can't take it no more, hey!
Yeah!
Detroit City, where the girls (Shing-a-ling, shing-a-ling)
Are so fine and pretty (Shing-a-ling, shing-a-ling)
(Shing-a-ling) Yeah!
I've got to go (Goin' back)
I can't take it no more
I've got to get on back (Goin' back)
And I'm lonely for 12th and Blaine, y'all!
In Detroit! Ha!
I got to get on back to the city (Goin' back)
Where the girls are so fine and pretty (Goin' back)
Hey, where the music is rockin' the city (Goin' back)
Detroit City, y'all! Gettin' on back now! (Goin' back)
In a hurry, kinda quick-like! (Goin' back)
