1.Detroit City (Tom Jones) sözleri

Tom Jones tarafından albümünde söylenen Detroit City adlı şarkının sözleri.

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 wanna go home, I wanna go home,
Oh, how I wanna 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!

[spoken]

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

3.Detroit City (Alice Cooper) sözleri

Alice Cooper tarafından albümünde söylenen Detroit City adlı şarkının sözleri.

Me and Iggy were giggin with Ziggy and kickin with the MC5
Ted and Seger were burnin with fever
and let the Silver bullets fly
The Kid was in his crib, shady wore a bib
and the posse wasnt even alive
Shock rock choppin block, sort to make your heart stop
Shovin in ta overdrive
Playing loud and fast
Make that guitar blast
Playing like today will be your last...
Well I was born there
Gonna die there
With all my long hair
Detroit City
You feel your heart beat
You hit the concrete
To get to mean street
Detroit City
Theres a riot raging downtown
Tryin to burn the place down
Skies glowin; red and grey
But the Riff kept a Rockin
The greek kept a-talkin
And the streets still smokin today
Playing loud and fast
Make that guitar blast
Playing like today will be your last...
Well I was born there
Probably die there
With all my long hair
Detroit City
You feel your heart beat
You hit the concrete
Dance the mean streets
Detroit City
Six mile seven mile eight mile nine mile
ten mile eleven mile Detroit city
Louder
Faster
Louder
Detroit City
Well I was born there
Gonna die there
We dont belong here
Detroit City
You feel your heart beat
Hit the concrete
Dance the mean street
Detroit City
Well I was born there
Probably die there
With all my long hair
Detroit City
You feel your heart beat
You hit the concrete
Dance the mean street
Detroit City
