Detroit City

I wanna go home I wanna go home Ohh how I wanna go home Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city And I dreamed about those cotton fields and 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 Ohh 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, by night I make the bars If only they could read between the lines 'Cause you know I rode the freight train north to Detroit city And after all these years, I find, I've just been wastin' my time So I just think I'll take my foolish pride And put it on a southbound freight and ride And go on back to the loved ones The ones that I left waitin' so far behind I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh how I wanna go home I wanna go home
