webb pierce - detroit city lyrics
i wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord 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
i dreamed about that girl who’s been waiting for so long
i wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord i wanna go home
[ guitar ]
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 by night i make the bars
if only they could read between the lines
now you know i rode the freight train north to detroit city
and after all these years i find i’ve just been wastin’ my time
so i just think i’ll take my foolish pride and put it on a southbound freight and ride
go on back to the loved ones the ones i left waiting so far behind
i wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord i wanna go home
