Lyrics of Detroit city

I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, how i want to go home

Last night i went to sleep in detroit city
And i dreamed about those cotton fields at home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother
I dreamed about that 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

At home folks think i'm big in detroit city
From the letters that i write they think i'm fine
But by day i make the cars and by night i make the bars
If only they could read between the lines

You know i rode a freight train north to detroit city
After all these years i find that i've just been wasting my time
So i just think i'll take my foolish pride put on a southbound train and ride
And go on back to the loved ones the ones that i've 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
Oh, how i want to go home
I want to go home
