Detroit City

Last night, I went to sleep in Detroit City I dreamed about them cotton fields and home I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother And I dreamed about the girl whose 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 just fine, yes they do 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 I rode a freight train north to Detroit City And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time You know what I'm gonna do 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 loved ones The ones I left waiting so far behind I wanna go home, yeah I wanna go home Oh, how I want to go home! Can't you hear me? I wanna go home Oh, baby, I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home! Somebody help me I wanna go home, yeah I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home!
