buried in detroit lucas löwe remix feat big sean

Mike Posner

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 fucked up in Stockholm

But I ll be buried in Detroit
Next to my father, 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
