You know last night i went to sleep in detroit city |
|
And i dreamed about those cotton fields and home |
|
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sisters and brothers |
|
And i dreamed about a love who's been waiting there so long |
|
I want to go home |
|
I want to go home |
|
Oh how i want to go home |
|
My kinfolks think i'm big in detraoit city |
|
From all the letters that i write, they think i'm fine |
|
By day i make the cars |
|
But, by night i make all the bars |
|
Oh if only they's just read between the lines |
|
They'd know i want to go home |
|
I want to go home |
|
Oh how i want to go home |
|
You know i rode a freight train north to detroit city |
|
And after all these years i find i've been wasting my time |
|
Think i'll put my foolish pride on a southbound train and ride |
|
Heading back to the loved ones i left there waiting behind |
|
Repeat chorus |
