The lakes and pines they bleed of beauty and grace
   D                              G                       D G
And the rivers they run wild like an endless race
    D                         G                               D  G
The forests soar so high then fall to the sea

As church bells ring and sing in harmony

  Em                                       G                D
I heard them say they're shuttin' Detroit down
      Em                      G                     A
But I won't leave cuz' this is my hometown

         G          A                        D 
And it's times like these we can't replace

And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees

It makes us who we are, in times like these

    D                          G                          D   G
The concrete and steel stand strong against the wind
         D                G                             D   G
With the memories of what was and what has been
    D                    G                               D   G
The sounds of sweet soul music and blue-collar blues
      D                    G                            D   G
There were 17 colors for a Chevy all red white and blue



  Em                            G                     D
I heard them say that you can't save that town
    Em               G                            A
But I won't leave, I will stand my ground

         G          A                        D

(Solo) D   G

(no guitar)
The ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom

In the wake that hope and faith they will be home soon
  D                            G                                              D         G
A new day dawns as the good Lord shines from above
           D                                         G                         D   G
Cuz in the rubble and rust there remains a whole lotta love

    Em                     G        D
And I was here watchin' it all go down
    Em                              G           A
And I'll still be, when it comes back 'round

         G          A                        D 
And it's times like these we can't replace
