[00:14.6]I’m a writer and a lover
[00:18.8]I’m a Midwest music man
[00:23.1]And I’ve been to a lot of places
[00:26.3]But I’m gon’ end where I began
[00:30.5]I took class in Carolina
[00:36.7]Got high smoking joints
[00:38.2]And now they know my name in Paris
[00:42.0]But I’ll be buried in Detroit
[00:45.4]Next to my father, and my father’s father too
[00:53.9]I used to live in New York City
[00:57.2]But baby that ain’t no substitute
[01:00.9]Not for my hometown
[01:04.8]That place people avoid
[01:09.3]I’ve made love in every city
[01:12.3]But I’ll be buried in Detroit
[01:32.6]I don’t claim to be a prophet
[01:36.3]I just speak my mind
[01:40.0]I try to tell it like it is
[01:43.9]And sometimes God makes it rhyme
[01:47.8]I like my songs how I like my women
[01:52.2]Honest and to the point
[01:55.8]You see I got ****** up in Stockholm
[01:59.2]But I’ll be buried in Detroit
[02:02.9]Next to my father, my father’s father too
[02:11.2]I used to live in New York City
[02:14.3]But baby that ain’t no substitute
[02:18.4]Not for my hometown
[02:22.0]That place people avoid
[02:26.8]I’ve made love in every city
[02:29.8]But I’ll be buried in Detroit
[02:50.1]You know I ain’t gon’ live forever
[02:54.3]Baby it won’t be long
[02:57.0]At the wake they’ll say “He made a lot of mistakes
[03:01.9]But he could write hell of a song”
[03:04.7]And I made, I made killing
[03:08.8]Though I never really was employed
[03:12.6]I had a girl from San Diego
[03:18.5]But I’ll be buried in
[03:26.6]I killed a show in Indonesia
[03:28.1]But I’ll be buried in
[03:35.2]I made love in every city
[03:39.6]But I’ll be buried in Detroit
