Dean Martin - Detroit City

I want to go home

I want to 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 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 want to go home

I want to go home

Oh, how I want to go home



At 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 wasting my time

So I just think I'll take my foolish pride put on a southbound train and ride

And go on back to the loved ones the ones that I've left waiting so far behind



I want to go home

I want to go home

Oh, how I want to go home



I want to go home

I want to go home

Oh, how I want to go home



I want to go home

Oh, how I want to go home

I want to go home
