Detroit City

I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh how I wanna go home last night I went to sleep in Detroit city And I dreamed about them Cotton fields of home I dreamed About my mother dear old pappy Sister and brother I dreamed About the girl who's been waitin' 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 by night I make the bars if only they could Read between the lines 'cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit city And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time You know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take my foolish pride Get it on a southbound freight And let it ride I'm gonna go back To the loved ones the ones I left Waiting so far behind I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna Go home~ I wanna go home~
