george jones - detroit city lyrics
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 those cottonfields and home
i dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother
and i dreamed about that girl who’s been waiting for so long.
i wanna go home, i wanna go home
oh, how i wanna go home.
— instrumental —
homefolks 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.
(spoken)
’cause 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 think i’ll just take my follish pride
an’ put it on a southbound freight and ride
(sang)
and go back to the loved ones
the ones that i left behind.
i wanna go home, i wanna go home
oh, how i wanna go home…
