Lyrics of Detroit city

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how i wanna go home

Last night i went
To sleep in detroit city
And i dreamed about
The cotton fields and home

I dreamed about my mother
Dear old papa, sister and brother
And i dreamed about that girl
Who's been waiting 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 fine

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 the freight train
North to detroit city
And after all these years i find
I've just been wasting my time

So i think
I'll take my foolish pride
And put it on
A southbound freight and ride

And go on back
To the loved ones
The ones, i left behind

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how i wanna go home
