Detroit City Lyrics - Dean Martin

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

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

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
