Why don’t we take a trip back, I’ll tell the story
Before any of it all
Before anyone would scream in glory
These two simple words, Detroit Basketball.
At first they brought no pain
They weren’t known to be gritty
Played in a town called Fort Wayne
Where it’s nothing like the Motor City.
During a time where basketball wasn’t a big thing
The Pistons of the 70’s had a couple nice players,
Who went on to become the mayor.
Quickly came the end of that decade
Wherein a new one must start.
