Detroit MadeBob Seger

Songwriter: John Hiatt

Producer: Bob Seger

[Verse 1]
Got me a deuce and a quarter, baby
She will ride you right
Pick you up 'bout half past nine
We can ride all night
Came up from the country, baby
City's where I stay
Got me a deuce and a quarter, baby
That's all I got to say

[Chorus]
She's a Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
She's a Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe

[Verse 2]
Big block, she'll do all the work
So we can ride in style
Leather on those bucket seats
Carpet, double pile
Chrome that takes the moonlight on
Sea to shining sea
You can hear those glass packs rumble
To the Statue of Liberty

[Chorus]
She's a Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
She's a Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
Go!

[Verse 3]
Now when I first got outta high school
I drove an old farm truck
All the girls they walk right by me
Didn't even say good luck
Now I ride my 225
They all wanna be my friend
I'll pick you up later tonight now, baby
If you can wait 'til then

[Chorus]
She's a Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
She's a Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe

[Verse 4]
Just about every cat I know
Wants him a Coupe de Ville
I pay half the price, I get twice as nice
And they still have to pay that bill
I can't say everything's okay
Ridin' in my car
But I got me a deuce and a quarter, baby
She goes like a shootin' star

[Chorus]
She's a Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
She's a Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
Oh, Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
Detroit made
Deuce and a quarter, babe
Go!

[Outro]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Yeah!
