I’m Leaving Detroit

All winter I’ve been workin makin cars in Detroit

But tomorrow morning I’ll be checkin’ out

I’m leavin this old city and the hard times that I had

I’m leavin Detroit, I’m headin’ south

Chorus:

I’m goin where the southern breezes blow

I’m tired of Detroit’s weather with its snow

Don’t look for me tomorrow ‘cause tonight I’m checkin’ out

I’m leavin Detroit, I’m headin south

I can smell the mountain laurel and the honeysuckle bloom

I can taste that southern cookin’ in my mouth

I miss the ones that love me and the good times that I’ve had

I’m leavin Detroit, I’m headin south

Chorus:

I’m goin where the southern breezes blow…

Repeat Chorus:

I’m goin where the southern breezes blow…
