All winter I've been working making cars in Detroit
But tomorrow morning I'll be checking out
I'm leaving this old city and the hard times that I've had
I'm leaving Detroit, I'm heading South
I'm going where the Southern breezes blow
I'm tired of Detroits weather with it's snow
Don't look for me tomorrow, cause tonight I'm checking out
I'm leaving Detroit, I'm heading South
I can smell the Mountain Laurel and the Honey Suckle blooms
I taste that Southern Cooking in my mouth
I miss the ones that love me and the good times that I've had
I'm leaving Detroit, I'm heading South
I'm going where the Southern breezes blow
I'm tired of Detroits weather with it's snow
Don't look for me tomorrow, cause tonight I'm checking out
I'm leaving Detroit, I'm heading South
I'm going where the Southern breezes blow
I'm tired of Detroits weather with it's snow
Don't look for me tomorrow, cause tonight I'm checking out
I'm leaving Detroit, I'm heading South
