Bobby Bare - Detroit City (Live)

Detroit City (Live)

Here's a song I'll probably sing a million times
And I'll never get tired of it (yeah)
Are you ready? (Yeah)

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, I wanna go home

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
And I dreamed about those cotton fields at home
I dreamed about my mother
Dear old papa, sister and brother
I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, I wanna go home

My home folks think I'm big in Detroit city
From the letters that I write, they think I'm fine
By day, I make the cars, 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
That I've just been wasting my time
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride
Put on a southbound train and ride
And go on back to the loved ones
The ones that I've left waiting so far behind

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, I wanna go home

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, I wanna go home
