Detroit City Lyrics

Last night i went to sleep in detroit city

And i dreamed about those cottonfields back home

I dreamed about my mama dear old papa sister and brother

And i dreamed about the boy that's been waiting for so long

I wanna go home i wanna go home

Oh how i want to go home

Home folks think i'm a big deal in detroit city

From the letters that i write they think i'm doin' fine

But by day i make the cars and by night i sing in bars

If only they could read 'tween the lines

I wanna go home i wanna go home

Oh how i want to go home

Rode a greyhound bus way up north to detroit city

It seems like after all this time maybe i've just been wasting mine

Think i'm gonna take my foolish pride put it on southbound dog and ride

Looking for that boy who's been waiting for so long

I wanna go home i wanna go home

Oh how i want to go home

I wanna go home i wanna go home

Oh how i want to go home

Go home
