Detroit City Lyrics - Singles - Tom Jones

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City 

I dreamed about them cotton fields of home 

I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brother 

And I dreamed about the girl who's been waitin 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 I rode a freight train north to Detroit City 

And after all these years I find I? ve just been wastin? my time 

You know what I? m gonna do? I? m gonna take my foolish pride 

Get it on a southbound 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 wanna go home 

I wanna go home 

Whoa, baby I wanna go home 

Oh, how I wanna go home 

I wanna go home, yeah 

I wanna go home, whoa oh 

Oh, how I wanna go home 

FADE Hmm, I wanna go home
