Detroit City lyrics

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 those cottonfields and home I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother I dreamed about that girl who's been waitin' for so long I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home Homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City Cause 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 Cause you know I took a freight train north to Detroit City And after all these years I find that I've just been wastin' my time So I think I'll just take my foolish pride and put on a Southbound freight and ride And go on back to the loved ones yes the ones that I left waiting so far behind I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home I wanna go home I wanna go home I wanna go home
