Artist/Band: Tom Jones
Lyrics for Song: Detroit City
Lyrics for Album: 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection 2 [2006]



Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City,

and I dreamed about those cotton fields at home.

I dreamed about my mother,

dear old papa, sister and brother,

I dreamed about the girl

who's 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 fine.

But by day, I make the cars,

and by night, I make the bars,

If only they could read between the lines!



You know,

I rode a freight train north to Detroit City,

After all these years,

I find that I've just been wastin' my time.

So I think I'll take my foolish pride,

put on a south bound freight and ride,



Goin' back to the love ones,

The ones I left waitin' so far behind.

I wanna go home, I wanna go home

oh, how want to go home.
