Shuttin' Detroit Down Lyrics - Bigger Hands - John Anderson

My daddy taught me in this country everyone's the same 

You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the blame 

When it don't go your way 

Now I see all these big shots whinin' on my evening news 

They say they're losin' billions and it's up to me and you 

To come runnin' to the rescue 

Well, pardon me if I don't shed a tear 

But they're sellin' make believe and we don't buy that here 

'Cause in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down 

While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town 

And DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground 

Yeah, while they're living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town 

Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down 

Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down 

Well, that old man's been workin' in that plant most all his life 

Now his pension plan's been cut in half and he can't afford to die 

And it's a cryin' shame 'cause he ain't the one to blame 

And when I look down and see those calloused hands 

Well, let me tell you friend it makes me fightin' mad 

Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down 

While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town 

And DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground 

Yeah, while they're livin' it up on Wall Street in that New York City town 

Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down 

In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down 

While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets on out of town 

DC's bailin' out them bankers as the farmers auction ground 

Yeah, while they're livin' it up on Wall Street in that New York City town 

Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down 

In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down 

In the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down
