Hope in Detroit (Live) Video (MV)

Well, they got a saying up in Detroit, that they hope for better things
And they'll build it back up from the ash, if it all burns down again
They're as tough as nails in the Motor City, they been through worse before
They fight, and grind, and tune her up, and celebrate Up North

Oh, hope is a funny thing, you can catch it like the flu
If you don't have it that's just fine, we can send some down to you
It's ok to fret and cry, just don't stay down to long
Cause they got hope up in Detroit, and it's time to pass it on

They got a saying down in the South, let sleeping dogs lie still
Don't count too much on the weatherman and pray before the meal
That's good advice, and it works for me. Make hay while the sun does shine
And when the chips are down and the trouble comes, hope will help you realign

Oh, hope is a funny thing, you can catch it like the flu
If you don't have it that's just fine, we can send some down to you
It's ok to fret and cry, just don't stay down to long
Cause they got hope up in Detroit, and it's time to pass it on

Hope is bread to a hungry soul, it's aloe for the burn
Looking up beats looking back, when your good luck takes a turn
Times are tough, and money's tight, but hope don't cost ya none
Rise up and out and far beyond, there's better days to come

Oh, hope is a funny thing, you can catch it like the flu
If you don't have it that's just fine, we can send some down to you
It's ok to fret and cry, just don't stay down to long
Cause they got hope up in Detroit, and it's time to pass it on
Oh, hope is a funny thing, you can catch it like the flu
If you don't have it that's just fine, we can send some down to you
It's ok to fret and cry, just don't stay down to long
Cause they got hope up in Detroit, and it's time to pass it on
