Lyrics of Detroit city

Last night, i went to sleep in detroit city
I dreamed about them cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother
And i dreamed about the girl whose 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 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 wasting my time
You know what i'm gonna do

I'm gonna take my foolish pride
Get it on a south bound freight and let it ride
I'm gonna go back to the loved ones
The ones i left waiting so far behind

I wanna go home, yeah
I wanna go home
Oh, how i want to go home!

Can't you hear me?
I wanna go home
Oh, baby, i wanna go home
Oh, how i wanna go home!

Somebody help me
I wanna go home, yeah
I wanna go home
Oh, how i wanna go home!
