Detroit City

I wanna go home, I wanna go home

Lord, how I want to go homeLast night I went to sleep in Detroit city

And I dreamed of those cotton fields and home

I dreamed about my mother, my papa, sister and brother

I dreamed about that girl who's been waitin' for so longI want to go home, I want to go home

Lord, how I want to go homeHome folks 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 linesI wanna go home, I wanna go home

Lord, how I want to go homeI rode a freight train north to Detroit City

And after all these years I've found I'm wasting my time

So I'll take my foolish pride put her on a southbound freight and ride

Go on back to the loved ones I've left so far behindI wanna go home, I wanna go home

Lord, how I want to go homeI wanna go home, I wanna go home

Lord, how I want to go home

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
