Dean Martin - Detroit City Lyrics
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
You know last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
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
folks think I'm big in Detroit city
From the letters I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make the cars
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 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 I left there waiting so far behind
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home

Dean Martin Detroit City Comments
Dino love you always in my heart
Every time I hear this song I think about the ride and my Aunt Verdell she is gone now but this song remind if the time I spent with her that day. We had a lote if fun on that trip.
I sung this song on my way to Detroit riding with my Aunt Verdel. I was just a kid. i'm much older now. But it still sounds good.
Dean the only one best singer
Dean Martin. Une voix un charme sympa. Le seul.
very wery good
Being g an actor is tough work, but at least they get to wear all those cool costums & closths.
Never met him but he's like family to me. Love you Dean!
One of the best singers; better, much better than Sinatra.
I still remember back in 1964 the Beatles invasion. No one could knock them off of the charts-NOT even Elvis. Well, in 64 or 65 Dean come out with a new song and knocked the Beatles off the top. Dean sent Elvis a telegram saying, if you can't knock those guys off of the charts, I guess I'll have to! Never heard if Elvis ever sent a reply.
Oliver James
I have a feeling Elvis did respond to him. Cause he was the one who told Deans daughter Deana " i might be the king of rock and roll but your dad is the king of cool. He really liked Dean style.
Great songs and great pictures - I wanna go home :-)

GREATEST VOICE!
Perfect
One of the greatest!
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!
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 wastin' my time.
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride,
Put on a south bound freight and ride,
Goin' back to the love ones,
The ones I left waitin' so far behind.
I want to go home, I want to go home,
Oh, how I want to go home.
cloths.and DEAN went home, in 95, at 78yrs old.
I'm still in love with this great man. There will never be anyone like him ever.

Great song
I agree with kevin, best version of the this song. Thank you for posting.
Yes,the best version, thanks to Dino's special style.
Although I recently found out that Mel Tillis wrote this song (and he's another great!), this has always been a "Dean Martin song" for me, as that's the first version I heard as a small kid.

This is the best version ever made of this song! SWEEEEEEEEEET!

Love Dean, thank you for another amazing clip with just the best song ever. Appreciate all your work :)
