Buried In Detroit

[Verse 1]
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

[Hook]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Hook]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Hook]
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

I took a pill in Ibiza

I took a pill in Ibiza
To show Avicii I was cool
And when I finally got sober,
Felt 10 years older
But f**k it, it was something to do
I’m living out in LA
I drive a sports car just to prove
I’m a real big baller
Cause I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes

But you don’t wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don’t ever wanna step off
That roller coaster and be all alone
You don’t wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

I’m just a singer who already blew his shot
I get along with old timers
Cause my name’s a reminder
Of a pop song people forgot
And I can’t keep a girl, no
Cause as soon as the sun comes up
I cut em all loose and work’s my excuse
But the truth is I can’t open up

But you don’t wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don’t ever wanna step off
That roller coaster and be all alone
You don’t wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

With ur love

[Cher Lloyd]
Baby you the best ’cause you worked me out
I keep building walls up but you tear ‘em down
I’m fighting I don’t wanna like it but you know I like it
But you know I like it like it like it
Used to always think I was bullet proof
But you got an AK and you’re blowing through
Explosive, you don’t even know it, I want you to know it
I want you to know it know it know it

All of them other boys can walk away
They ain’t even in the game
‘Cause they know that you own it
You got this swag you got this attitude
Wanna hear you say my name
‘Cause you got me

[Chorus]
Flying with your love,
Shining with your love,
Riding with your love
I feel like I’m on top of the world
With your love
One hit with your love
Can’t quit with your love
So sick but so what
I feel like I’m on top of the world
With your love

[Cher Lloyd]
Everybody wants what I got with you
‘Cause I’m standing on top with a killer view
Inspired feeling like a million, I’m one in a million
I’m one in a million million million
I ain’t even here
I’m in outer space
Like I’m Venus your Mars in the
Milky Way
It’s crazy, what you’re doing to me, how you do it to me
How you do it to me to me to me

All of them other boys can walk away
They ain’t even in the game
‘Cause they know that you own it
You got this swag you got this attitude
Wanna hear you say my name
‘Cause you got me

[Chorus]
Flying with your love,
Shining with your love,
Riding with your love
I feel like I’m on top of the world
With your love
One hit with your love
Can’t quit with your love
So sick but so what
I feel like I’m on top of the world
With your love

[Mike Posner]
You got it yeah yeah you got it
I could slow it down speed it up how you want it girl all night long
And I don’t even care if you sing my songs wrong
First date, first base;
second date, second base;
Third date, you’re looking at me funny,
you got a hard shell but the middle’s
so yummy

‘Cause you got me flying baby
I’m shining baby
I’m riding with your love
One hit baby
I can’t quit baby
I’m so sick but so what
Flying baby
I’m shining baby
I’m riding with your love
One hit baby
I can’t quit baby
I’m so sick but so what
(I’m on top of the world)

[Chorus]
Flying with your love,
Shining with your love,
Riding with your love
I feel like I’m on top of the world
With your love
One hit with your love
Can’t quit with your love
So sick but so what
I feel like I’m on top of the world
With your love
