  • I was born in the Motorcity back in 1948
    I was born in the Motorcity back in 1948
    Dad said "get your gun boy and don't you ever be late"

    I was born in Detroit rockin' before I was six
    I was born in Detroit rockin' before I was six
    I learned all the licks and got my kicks on Route 66

    I was born in Motown, how I love the blues
    I am the child of Motown, lord how I love the groove
    You got that fire in your belly, you know you just can't lose

    Well born in the Motor City
    I was born in the Motor City
    I was born in the Motor City
    I was born in the Motor City

    I got that fire in my belly, you know I just can't lose
    I got that fire in my belly, you know I just can't lose
    Motown Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
