Detroit City lyrics
Song information
Artist: Tom Jones Album: Green Green Grass Of Home
Lyrics
Last night, I went to sleep in detroit city I dreamed about those cotton fields of home I dreamed about my mother Dear old papa, sister and brother I dreamed about that girl whose been waiting for so long I wanna go home, I wanna go home Oh how I wanna go home!
Home, folks think I'm big in detroit city From the letters that I write, they think I'm just fine - yes they do But by day I make the cars And by night I make the bars If only they could read between the lines!
(Spoken)
Cause you know that I rode a freight train north to detroit city And after all these years I find that I've just been wasting my time You know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take my foolish pride Get it on a south bound freight and let it ride! I'm gonna go back to the love ones The ones I left waiting so far behind
I wanna go home, yeah I wanna go home Oh how I want to go home Can't you hear me I wanna go home Oh baby How I wanna go home Oh how I wanna go home Somebody help me I wanna go home, I wanna go home Oh how I wanna go home!!!!
