Dean Martin "Detroit City" |
(Mel Tillis - Danny Dill) I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh, how I want to go home. Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city And I dreamed about those cotton fields and 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 want to go home. Homefolks think I'm big in Detroit city From the letters 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 I've just been wastin' my time So I just think I'll take my foolish pride put on a southbound freight and ride And goin' back to the loved ones the ones I left there waiting so far behind. I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh, how I want to go home. I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh, how I want to go home. (I wanna go home, oh, how I wanna go home...) Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
