Buried in Detroit

Mike Posner

เพลง


I'm a writer and a lover
 I'm a Midwest music man
 And I've been to a lot of places
 But I'm gon' end where I began
 I took class in Carolina
 Got high smoking joints
 And now they know my name in Paris

But I'll be buried in Detroit
 Next to my father, and my father's father too
 I used to live in New York City
 But baby, that ain't no substitute
 Not for my hometown
 That place people avoid
 I've made love in every city
 But I'll be buried in Detroit

I don't claim to be a prophet
 I just speak my mind
 I try to tell it like it is
 And sometimes God makes it rhyme
 I like my songs how I like my women
 Honest and to the point
 You see I got f*cked up in Stockholm

But I'll be buried in Detroit
 Next to my father, and my father's father too
 I used to live in New York City
 But baby, that ain't no substitute
 Not for my hometown
 That place people avoid
 I've made love in every city
 But I'll be buried in Detroit

You know I ain't gon' live forever
 Baby, it won't be long
 At the wake they'll say "He made a lot of mistakes,
 But he could write hell of a song"
 And I made, I made killing
 Though I never really was employed
 I had a girl from San Diego

But I'll be buried in
 I killed a show in Indonesia
 But I'll be buried in
 I made love in every city
 But I'll be buried in Detroit
