[Verse 1]
All they said [?] to your head 'bout the [?] you do
Just stay in school
Someday you'll do what you could not do
Run boy run in the summer sun on a summer's day
You know what you know and you can't wait to grow when the [?] way
I could only understand that my dad's a good man
And he's [?] pay day
[Verse 2]
The high school plan, be a motor city man
Working night, all day
Cause no matter who you are
You got to have a car in the USA
But something ain't right 'bout the billboards [?] down the big highway
It's hard times again and the good working men are sitting home all day
I know this plant's closing down and I'm leaving this town
I'll be gone pay day
[Outro]
And red lights and green lights [?] my way
The [?] to the park and the corner after dark
Where I met my [?]
Where the factories all fall down to the mother ground
I'll be gone pay day
Yeah I done all I can, I'm a motor city man
I'll be on my way
