It was winter of 16' I met a boy in the land of Mary, We went on our first date in the diner, With my boy, boy from Detroit. We shared an omelette, he put on extra ketchup A scene I'll keep reminiscing. We talked and laughed, as if no one's there Suddenly I felt something so familiar On the way to his car, I asked if he's cold He said, No I'm fine, I am from Detroit. In his car to the movie, in downtown Washington, D.C. The movie is  called Manchester by the sea I looked at him while he talked about how his parents met in Annapolis. My first blue eyed boy, oh Michael from Detroit. He said that he would leave, in the month of February To China, to pursuit his dreams. I said ,it's fine, it's not like I am looking for a relationship. Little did I know, I will fall for this boy from Detroit. It was winter of 16', we always liked to have some ice cream Wandering in the city of the district Sometimes we didn't, sometimes we did Know where the street is taking us to We may stand in the cold, try to figure out which way to go But with him I'd never get lost. My boy from Detroit, it was never a fling but why are there so many" what we could have been"? Before you left, you asked my when do I know, When do I know that I have feelings for you? Well I guess it was the moment I unexpectedly agreed to go to a movie with you after dinner In your black Ford on a late Friday night It was winter of 16' We are both at the crossroad,not knowing where life Would take us to But we will be fine, after some time We will meet again without tears in my eyes. This is for you, Mike Oh my boy from Detroit When the day come,I would gladly Change my last name to Olevnik.

Boy from Detroit(lyrics)
It was winter of 16' I met a boy in the land of Mary, We went on our first date in the diner, With my boy, boy from Detroit. We shared an omelette, he put on extra ketchup A scene I'll keep reminiscing. We talked and laughed, as if no one's there Suddenly I felt something so familiar On the way to his car, I asked if he's cold He said, No I'm fine, I am from Detroit. In his car to the movie, in downtown Washington, D.C. The movie is  called Manchester by the sea I looked at him while he talked about how his parents met in Annapolis. My first blue eyed boy, oh Michael from Detroit. He said that he would leave, in the month of February To China, to pursuit his dreams. I said ,it's fine, it's not like I am looking for a relationship. Little did I know, I will fall for this boy from Detroit. It was winter of 16', we always liked to have some ice cream Wandering in the city of the district Sometimes we didn't, sometimes we did Know where the street is taking us to We may stand in the cold, try to figure out which way to go But with him I'd never get lost. My boy from Detroit, it was never a fling but why are there so many" what we could have been"? Before you left, you asked my when do I know, When do I know that I have feelings for you? Well I guess it was the moment I unexpectedly agreed to go to a movie with you after dinner In your black Ford on a late Friday night It was winter of 16' We are both at the crossroad,not knowing where life Would take us to But we will be fine, after some time We will meet again without tears in my eyes. This is for you, Mike Oh my boy from Detroit When the day come,I would gladly Change my last name to Olevnik.
New attempt on writing lyrics like John Prine did.
