Detroit City - Tom Jones

作词：Danny Dill/Mel Tillis

作曲：Danny Dill/Mel Tillis

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City

I dreamed about them cotton fields and home

I dreamed about my mother

Dear old papa sister and brother

And I dreamed about the 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

'Cause you know I rode a freight

Train north to Detroit City

And after all these years I find

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 loved 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 I wanna go home

Oh how I wanna go home

Somebody help me

I wanna go home yeah

I wanna go home

Oh how I wanna go home

I wanna go home
