detroit city - mel tillis 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
and i dreamed about the girl that’s been waiting for so long
i wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord i wanna go home
[ guitar ]
now the homefolks think i’m big in detroit city
from the letters that i write they think i’m just fine
by day i make the cars and by night i’m a makin’ the bars
lord if only they could read between the lines
as you know i rode a long black freight train way up north to detroit city
but after all these years i find that well i’ve just been wastin’ my time
but you know what i think i’m gonna do folks i’m gonna take my foolish pride
and put it on a southbound freight and ride
i wanna go home i wanna go home oh lord i wanna go home
