I'm a writer and a lover I'm 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 sometime god makes it rhyme I like my songs how I like my women Honest and to the point You see I got ****** 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 thay'll say He make 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 Indoesia But I'll be buried in I made love in every city But I'll be buried in Detroit
