Detroit City (I Wanna Go Home) - Bobby Lord
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh Lord I want to go home
Last night I went to sleep
In detroit city
And I dreamed about them cotton
Fields of home
I dreamed about my mother
Dear old dad and sister and brother
About the girl
Who's been waitin' for so long
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh Lord I want to go home
Home folks 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 only they could read between
The lines
You know I rode a freight train
North to detroit city
And after all these years I find
I've just been wastin' my time
So I think I'll put my foolish pride
On a southbound freight and ride
Back to the loved ones
I left waiting so far behind
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh Lord I want to go home
