And One for My Friends Detroit by Ethan Charles Lyrics

I've never told a story in a song;
I've never been one to judge right from wrong;
I've only hurt girls too fit to exploit;
But you got your way now, baby, I'm back in Detroit

I was getting drunk with my friend the other day;
I hadn't seen my friend since I moved away
He'd been lost and disgraced before it was cool;
At least now he knows he had something to lose;

And I'm hopeful, but I'm scared
Of all the time you've had a speech to prepare
And I'm looking at the grace of your eyes
And I can only wait so long for the sun to shine

I've been playing my songs out in Wicker Park;
Made my way out to Houston before it got dark
My ties have been severed, my lovers ignored;
But you got your way now, baby, I'm crying at your door

Well Kaleb said there's nothing like love after love
And Matt said I'm too young to be giving life up
Steve found a job, and I know I could join;
But I can't move on while you still own my groin;
And I'm hopeful, but I'm scared
Of all the time you've had a speech to prepare
And I'm looking at the grace of your eyes
And I can only wait so long for the sun to shine

From my pride to my courage, I long to compare
But good luck teaching all those damn artists to share;
Girls only wink in New York at your stash
But you got your way now, baby, I'm giving up the past

So slam the door in my face, say I'm just another man
I ain't come for forgiveness, I came to get banned;
There's plenty to say, if I'd give you the time
But I won't succumb to your girl, I'm keeping my spine;

And I'm hopeful, but I'm scared
Of all the time you've had a speech to prepare
And after looking at the grace of your eyes
I'm ready now for that sun to shine

So give me a kiss, honey, give me a rhyme
Drop me a line, if you still got the time
I've seen it before, and it happens too well
I'll be gone before the sunset
