Il testo della Detroit city

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Ohh how i wanna 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
I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Ohh 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 play the cards 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 wastin' my time
So i just 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 that i left waitin' so far behind

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