Detroit City |
I wanna go home |
I wanna go home |
Oh, how I want to go home |
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City |
I dreamed about those cotton field back home |
I dreamed about my mother my daddy sisters and brothers |
And I dreamed about this girl who I left waiting for so long |
I want to go home |
See, I want to go home |
Oh, how I want to go home |
You see the homefolks think I’m big in Detroit City |
From the letters that I write they think I’m doing 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 |
Because, you know |
I caught a freight train to Detroit City |
And after all these years I realized now |
I’ve just been wasting my time |
You know, what I’m gonna do |
I’m gonna take this foolish pride |
Get on a southbound freight and let it ride |
And go back to those ones who love me |
Those ones that are waiting for me |
Waiting back behind |
I wanna go home |
Can you help me get back home |
Somebody … oh |
Oh, how I want to go home home |
I just got to get home |
Oh, you see I got to get home |
