Detroit City Lyrics

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Last night I went to sleep
In detroit city
I dreamed about those cotton
Fileds of home
I dreamed about my mother
Dear old papa sister and brother
I dreamed about that girl

Whos been wating 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 just fine
But by day I make the cars
And by night I make the bars
If only they could read
Between the lines
Cause you know that
I rode a freight train north
To detroit city
And after all these years
I find that I've just been
Wasting my time
So I'm gonna
Take my foolish pride
Get it on a south bound freight
And let it ride
I'm gonna go back
To the love ones
The ones I left watin'
So far behind
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh how I want to go home
