Detroit City

Mel Tillis, Danny Dill

[Chorus]
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home

[Verse 1]
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, sister and brother
I dreamed about that boy who's been waiting for so long

[Chorus]
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home

[Verse 2]
Home folk think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
But by day I wash the cars, by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines

[Bridge]
(I wanna go home, I wanna go home)
(Oh, how I wanna go home)
'Cause 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
And go on back to the loved ones
The ones that I left waitin' so far behind

[Chorus]
I wanna go home (I wanna go)
I wanna go home (I wanna go home)
Oh, how I wanna go home

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

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

[Outro]
Last night I finally arrived
