Detroit City Lyrics

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 waitin? for so long
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna 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
SPOKEN

[? cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
And after all these years I find I? ve just been wastin? my time
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]
You know what I? m gonna do? I? m gonna take my foolish pride
Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride
I? m gonna go back to the loved ones
The ones I left waiting so far behind]

I wanna go home, yeah
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home

[Can? t you hear me?]

I wanna go home
Whoa, baby I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home

[Somebody help me]

I wanna go home, yeah
I wanna go home, whoa oh
Oh, how I wanna go home
FADE Hmm, I wanna go home
