(Goin' back) I heard about a swingin' place
They say the folks have all got soul
And that's where I'm on my way
Because the soul I will uphold

Ha! Everybody's clapping their hands
And stomping their feet
And they say it all started (Goin' back)
When they opened that crazy beat

I've got to go (Goin' back)
I can't take it no more
Hey, listen to the beat, ha!
Hey, it's alright now (Goin' back)
Baby, it's alright

I've got to go (Goin' back)
I can't take it no more
I'm goin' insane
And I'm lonely for 12th and Blaine

Oh, how sweet it is
Oh, how sweet it is
I've got to go (Goin' back)
To the Motor City, ha!
