Detroit City — 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 whos been waitin for so long

I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home

Home folks think Im big in Detroit City From the letters that I write they think Im 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 Ive just been wastin my time You know what Im gonna do? Im gonna take my foolish pride Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride Im 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 [Cant you hear me?]

I wanna go home Whoa, baby I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home [Somebody help me]

I wanna go home, yeah I wanna go home, whoa oh Oh, how I wanna go home

FADE Hmm, I wanna go home
