Bobby Bare - Detroit City

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 waiting for so long

I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna 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

SPOKEN
[ 'cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
And after all these years I find I've just been wasting 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 wanna go home, yeah I wanna go home Oh,

how I wanna go home [Can't you hear me?]

I wanna go home Whoa, baby I wanna go home

Oh, how I wanna go home [Somebody help me]

I wanna go home, yeah I wanna go home, whoa oh

Oh, how I wanna go home Hmm, I wanna go home
