Tyler Childers - Detroit Lyrics
Readin' and writin' on Route 23
It's hard to believe we've made it this far
So come on boys and grab your coats
Detroit's waitin' so get in the car
They say they're the prettiest things you have seen
And I ain't a gambler but I'd bet the farm
That Detroit's a gold mine waiting for me
The sidewalks are always jammed in this town
I feel like a dam that's about to cut loose
And the girls they say, will treat you fine
Beg for your silver 'til you can't refuse
And I'd love to go back to the hills where I was born
My pockets are empty my patience is torn
Oh look what's become of me
Mama I'm writin' to tell you I'm fine
I'm workin' real hard and I pray every night
So don't you worry I'm happy and free
Detroit's been like a blessing to me

Tyler Childers Detroit Comments
As big fans from the rural area north of Detroit, before this new album, this song hits home (Detroit) again when I went to buy tickets for my wife’s birthday and they were almost $100 each for general admission and an hour plus drive, well sit here in the thumb and listen to “messed up kid” and “Detroit” and let the city folk have their fun down there.
Mark Reinhold howdy neighbor, similar story here but about 40 minutes south in erie!

Tyler is the fuvkin truth
Taylor...tucky. Many friends I grew up with came from Tennessee and Kentucky famlies that move up to Detroit for auto jobs.....then the 70's came....and the jobs went.
Everywhere up here, come check out the rest of the state sometime, you’ll see Taylor is quite suburban. My wife’s family came from Kentucky, and part of mine from Tennessee.
