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 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
'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
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 want to go home yeah
I want to go home
Oh how I want to go home
Can't you hear me
I want to go home
Whoa baby I want to go home
Oh how I want to go home
Somebody help me
I want to go home yeah
I want to go home whoa oh
Oh how I want to go home
Hmm I want to go home
