Leaving Detroit

Gary Louris

[Verse 1]
Boarded windows, rusty stairs
Local color push their wares
They're stuck in their ways
You tell me that you just don't care
Don't pretend that you don't care

[Verse 2]
Waves of undulating grain
Visible from the little train
Where you slept
Sorry that I ripped your dress
Sorry that I ripped your dress
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]
You're already gone
This house ain't a home
I'll take the last flight
I stare at my hands
We'll make our last stand
I'm leavin' Detroit

[Verse 3]
The pushin' billboards, fast food chains
Tires whining softly in the rain
On the outskirts of town
What it is that I don't got
Who it is that I'm not

[Verse 4]
You like it rough, or so you said
I hit you 'til my fingers bled
Your eyes are nickel blue
My wedding ring, it nicked your chin
My wedding ring, it nicked your chin
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]
You're already gone
This house ain't a home
I'll take the last flight
I stare at my hands
We'll make our last stand
I'm leavin' Detroit

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh
You're already gone
This house ain't a home
I'll take the last flight
I stare at my hands
We'll make our last stand
I'm leavin' Detroit

[Chorus]
You're already gone
This house ain't a home
I'll take the last flight
I stare at my hands
We'll make our last stand
I'm leavin' Detroit
