Detroit City

Danny Dill, Mel Tillis

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

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
And I dreamed about the cotton fields at home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy
Sister and borther i dreamed about the girl
Who's been waiting for so long

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

Home folk 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
And by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
'Cause you see, I rode a freight
All thе way up north here to Detroit city
Aftеr all these years
I find that I've been here
In Detroit City just wastin' my time
So you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna take my foolish pride and
Put it on the side buy a freight and ride
Guess I'll go on back to the loved ones
The loved ones that I left so far behind

Ooh, I wanna go home i wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home

I ain't foolin' i wanna go home
I can't seem to raise my fare
(I wanna go home) but I wanna go home
Help me, somebody oh, how I wanna go home
Ooh
