Detroit City — текст песни (Tom Jones)

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 that 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!

[Spoken]

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 just 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 I want to go home.
