Detroit City

I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home.Last night I went to sleep in Detroit CityAnd I dreamed about the cottonfields and homeI dreamed about my mother dear old papa, sister and brotherAnd I dreamed about the girl who's waited for so long.I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home.The homefolks think I'm big in Detroit CityFrom the letters that I write they think I'm fineBy day I make the cars, by night I make the barsIf they could only read between the lines.I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home.(Spoken)You know I rode the freight train north to Detroit CityAnd after all these years I'd find I've just been wastin' my timeI believe of my foolish pride on a Southbound freight and ride(Sang)Back to the loved ones I've left so far behind.I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home...
