Buried In Detroit Lyrics - Mike Posner

1 I’m a writer and a lover

2 I’m a Midwest music man

3 And I’ve been to a lot of places

4 But I’m gon’ end where I began

5 I took class in Carolina

6 Got high smoking joints

7 And now they know my name in Paris

8 But I’ll be buried in Detroit

9 Next to my father, and my father’s father too

10 I used to live in New York City

11 But baby, that ain’t no substitute

12 Not for my hometown

13 That place people avoid

14 I’ve made love in every city

15 But I’ll be buried in Detroit

16 I don’t claim to be a prophet

17 I just speak my mind

18 I try to tell it like it is

19 And sometimes God makes it rhyme

20 I like my songs how I like my women

21 Honest and to the point

22 You see I got fucked up in Stockholm

23 But I’ll be buried in Detroit

24 Next to my father, and my father’s father too

25 I used to live in New York City

26 But baby, that ain’t no substitute

27 Not for my hometown

28 That place people avoid

29 I’ve made love in every city

30 But I’ll be buried in Detroit

31 You know I ain’t gon’ live forever

32 Baby, it won’t be long

33 At the wake they’ll say “He made a lot of mistakes,

34 But he could write hell of a song”

35 And I made, I made killing

36 Though I never really was employed

37 I had a girl from San Diego

38 But I’ll be buried in

39 I killed a show in Indonesia

40 But I’ll be buried in

41 I made love in every city

42 But I’ll be buried in Detroit
