Lirik Detroit City
I dreamed about them cotton fields of home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brother
And I dreamed about the girl whoās been waitinā for so long
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home
Home folks think Iām big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think Iām just fine, yes they do
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
SPOKEN
[ ācause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
And after all these years I find Iāve just been wastinā my time
You know what Iām gonna do?
Iām gonna take my foolish pride
Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride
Iām gonna go back to the loved ones
The ones I left waiting so far behind]
I wanna go home, yeah
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home [Canāt you hear me?]
I wanna go home
Whoa, baby I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home [Somebody help me]
I wanna go home, yeah
I wanna go home, whoa oh
Oh, how I wanna go home
FADE Hmm, I wanna go home
