LYRICS

All winter I’ve been working, making cars in Detroit
But tomorrow morning I’ll be checking out
I’m a leaving this old city and the hard times that I’ve had
I’m leaving Detroit, I’m headed south

I’m going where the southern breezes blow
I’m tired of Detroit’s weather with it’s snow
Don’t look for me tomorrow, cause tonight I’m checking out
I’m leaving Detroit, I’m headed south

I can smell the mountain laurels and the honeysuckles blooming
I can taste that southern cooking in my mouth
I miss the ones that love me and the good times that I’ve had

I’m going where the southern breezes blow
I’m tired of Detroit’s weather with it’s snow
Don’t look for me tomorrow, cause tonight I’m checking out
I’m leaving Detroit, I’m headed south

I’m going where the southern breezes blow
I’m tired of Detroit’s weather with it’s snow
Don’t look for me tomorrow, cause tonight I’m checking out
I’m leaving Detroit, I’m headed south
