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 |
