Detroit City |
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City |
I dreamed about them cotton fields of home |
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brother |
And 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, 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 |
SPOKEN |
[ '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, yeah |
I wanna go home |
Oh, how I wanna go home |
I wanna go home |
Whoa, baby I wanna go home |
Oh, how I wanna go home |
I wanna go home, yeah |
I wanna go home, whoa oh Oh, how I wanna go home |
