Lyrics of Detroit city - bobby bare

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

Last night i went to sleep in detroit city,
And i dreamed about those cotton fields and home,
I dreamed about my mother,
Dear old papa, sister and brother,
And i dreamed about that girl,
Whose been waitin' for so long,

I want to go home, i want to go home,
Oh lord, i want to 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,
By night i make the bars,
If only they could read between the lines,

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

I rode a freight train north to detroit city,
After all these years i've been wasting my time,
I'll take my foolish pride,
On a southbound freight and ride,
Go on back to the ones,
Ei've left waitin' so far behind,

I want to go home, i want to go home,
Oh lord, i want to go home.
