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. Had a spot 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
