Lyrics of Detroit city

I wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord i wanna go home
Last night i went to sleep in detroit city
And i dreamed about those cottonfields and 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 wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord i wanna go home
( guitar )
Homefolks 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
Cause you know i rode a freight train north to detroit city
And after all these years i find i've just been wasting my time
So i just think i'll take ol' charley pride put him on a southbound freight and ride
And go on back to the loved ones the ones that i left waiting so far behind
I wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord i wanna go home
( guitar )
I wanna go home i wanna go home i wanna go gome
