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

Last night i went to sleep in detroit city,
I dreamed about those cotton field back home

I dreamed about my mother, my daddy, sisters and brothers
And i dreamed about this girl who i left waiting for so long

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

You see, the homefolks think i'm big in detroit city,
From the letters that i write they think i'm doing 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

Because, you know, i caught a freight train to detroit city,
And after all these years i realized now
I've just been wasting my time

You know, what i'm gonna do
I'm gonna take this foolish pride
Get on a southbound freight and let it ride

And go back to those ones who love me
Those ones that are waiting for me
Waiting back behind

I wanna go home,
Can you help me get back home,
Somebody .... oh.

Oh, how i want to go home home,
I just got to get home,
Oh, you see, i got to get home.
