Jan、Dean - Detroit City
Written by:Dill/Tillis
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh how I want to go home
Last night I went to sleep in detroit city
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mother dear old papa
Sister and brother
I dreamed about that girl
Who's been waitin' for so long
I want to go home I want to go home
Oh how 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
But by day I make the cars
By night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
As you know
I rode a freight train north to detroit city
And after all these years I find
I've just been wasting my time
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride
Put it on a southbound freight and ride
Go on back to the love ones
The ones I've been waitin' so far behind
I want to go home I want to go home
Oh how I want to go home
I want to go home I want to go home
Oh how I want to go home
