Detroit City

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go homeLast night I went to sleep in Detroit CityAnd I dreamed about those cotton fields and homeI dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brotherI dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so longHome folks think I'm big in Detroit CityFrom the letters that I write they think I'm fineBut by day I make the cars by night I make the barsIf only they could read between the linesCause you know I rode the freight train north to Detroit CityAnd after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my timeSo I just think I'll take my foolish prideAnd put on a Southbound freight and rideAnd go on back to the loved ones I left waiting far behindI wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
