Living in Detroit with the blues. Kevin Walker was the brains behind this song.

lyrics

My Home Town is Motown
1- I lied to you baby, lied about my past
that I was from LA, with cocaine and cash /
I lied to ya baby what else could i do /
I just wanted to make love to you

2- I lied to you baby, about the house in the Hamps
in my dreams i wouldnt stand a chance
/ but everything has changed since i met you
/ listen now baby i'm telling you the truth

My hometown is Motown I grew up with the blues dirty fingernails, big cars and tattoos
left my soul in Motown my heart in Royal Oak going back to find my rythmn and my hope

3- I left the motor city i decided to go west /
I took my six string, and i did my very best /
I lied to you baby about the tour to paris
i feel bad about it, i havn't sleep in weeks (laugh)

5- I lied to ya baby about the house in Malibu /
I was just house sittin for a week or two /
I just wanted you to like me, think that i was rich / but now you know baby 'my life is just a' bitch

4- I lied to ya baby, its the biggest sin of all
i been living in the ghetto and its taken quite a toll booze and sex and drugs hanging in the hall
banging on the door and on the telephone
