Tom Jones - Detroit City

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!!!!
