Il testo della 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 the cottonfields and home
I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother
And i dreamed about the girl who's waited for so long
I wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord i wanna go home
The homefolks think i'm big in detroit city
From the letters that i write they think i'm fine
By day i make the cars by night i make the bars
If they could only read between the lines
I wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord i wanna go home
You know i rode the freight train north to detroit city
And after all these years i'd find i've just been wastin' my time
I believe of my foolish pride on a southbound freight and ride
Back to the loved ones i've left so far behind
I wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord i wanna go home
