We Almost Lost Detroit - JR JR, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

It stands out on a highway

like a Creature from another time.

It inspires the babies' questions,

«What's that?»

For their mothers as they ride.

But no one stopped to think about the babies

or how they would survive,

and we almost lost Detroit

this time.

How would we ever get over

losing our minds?

Just thirty miles from Detroit

stands a giant power station.

It ticks each night as the city sleeps

seconds from anniahlation.

But no one stopped to think about the people

or how they would survive,

and we almost lost Detroit

this time.

How would we ever get over

over losing our minds?

The sherrif of Monroe county had,

sure enough disasters on his mind,

and what would karen Silkwood say

if she was still alive?

That when it comes to people’s safety

money wins out every time.

and we almost lost Detroit

this time, this time.

How would we ever get over

over losing our minds?

You see, we almost lost Detroit

that time.

Almost lost Detroit

that time.

And how would we ever get over…

Cause odds are,

we gonna lose somewhere, one time.

Odds are

we gonna lose somewhere sometime.

And how would we ever get over

losing our minds?

And how would we ever get over

losing our minds?

Didn’t they, didn’t they decide?

Almost lost Detroit

that time.

Damn near totally destroyed,

one time.

Didn’t all of the world know?

Say didn’t you know?

Didn’t all of the world know?

Say didn’t you know?

We almost lost detroit…
