Solomon Burke - Detroit City Lyrics & Traduction

I wanna go home,
I wanna go home,
Oh, how I want to go home.

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City,
I dreamed about those cotton field back home

I dreamed about my mother, my daddy, sisters and brothers
and I dreamed about this girl who I left waiting for so long

I want to go home
See, I want to go home,
Oh, how I want to go home

You see, the homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City,
from the letters that I write they think I'm doing fine, yes they do

But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
if only they could read between the lines

Because, you know, I caught a freight train to Detroit City,
And after all these years I realized now
I've just been wasting my time

You know, what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna take this foolish pride
get on a southbound freight and let it ride

And go back to those ones who love me
Those ones that are waiting for me
Waiting back behind

I wanna go home,
can you help me get back home,
Somebody .... oh.

Oh, how I want to go home home,
I just got to get home,
Oh, you see, I got to get home.
