Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City I dreamed about them cotton fields of home I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brother And I dreamed about the girl who's been waitin' for so long I want to go home I want to go home Oh, 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 just 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 'Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna take my foolish pride Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride I'm gonna go back to the loved ones The ones I left waiting so far behind] I want to go home, yeah I want to go home Oh, how I want to go home [Can't you hear me?] I want to go home Whoa, baby I want to go home Oh, how I want to go home [Somebody help me] I want to go home, yeah I want to go home, whoa oh Oh, how I want to go home Hmm, I want to go home
