john doe - detroit city lyrics
i wanna go home, i wanna go home
lord, how i want to go home
last night i went to sleep in detroit city
and i dreamed of those cotton fields and home
i dreamed about my mother, my 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
lord, 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
i wanna go home, i wanna go home
lord, how i want to go home
i rode a freight train north to detroit city
and after all these years i’ve found i’m wasting my time
so i’ll take my foolish pride put her on a southbound freight and ride
go on back to the loved ones i’ve left so far behind
i wanna go home, i wanna go home
lord, how i want to go home
i wanna go home, i wanna go home
lord, how i want to go home
