Detroit City

Detroit City - Jerry Lee Lewis (傑瑞·李·路易斯)

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

And I dreamed about that girl who's been waitin' for so long

I want to go home I want to go home

Oh Lord I want to 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

And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time

So I think I'll take my foolish pride put it on a southbound freight and ride

Go on back to the ones I left who've been waitin' for so long

I want to go home I want to go home

Oh Lord I want to go home
