solomon burke - detroit city lyrics
i wanna go home
i wanna go home
oh, how i want to go home
last night i went to sleep in detroit city
i dreamed about those cotton field back home
i dreamed about my mother my daddy sisters and brothers
and i dreamed about this girl who i left waiting for so long
i want to go home
see, i want to go home
oh, how i want to go home
you see the homefolks think i’m big in detroit city
from the letters that i write they think i’m doing 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
because, you know
i caught a freight train to detroit city
and after all these years i realized now
i’ve just been wasting my time
you know, what i’m gonna do
i’m gonna take this foolish pride
get on a southbound freight and let it ride
and go back to those ones who love me
those ones that are waiting for me
waiting back behind
i wanna go home
can you help me get back home
somebody … oh
oh, how i want to go home home
i just got to get home
oh, you see i got to get home
