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 waiting' for so long
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to 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
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
And after all these years I find I've just been wasting' my time
I'm going to take my foolish pride
Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride
I'm going to go back to the loved ones
The ones I left waiting so far behind
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
Hmm, I want to go home
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 waiting' for so long
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to 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
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
And after all these years I find I've just been wasting' my time
I'm going to take my foolish pride
Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride
I'm going to go back to the loved ones
The ones I left waiting so far behind
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how I want to go home
Hmm, I want to go home
