Tom Jones DETROIT CITY Letra

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
