๐ Lyrics
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, Lord I want to go home
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
About the girl
Who's been waitin' for so long
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, Lord I want to go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
By day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
"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
So I think I'll put my foolish pride
On a southbound freight and let it ride
Back to the loved ones
I left waiting so far behind"
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, Lord I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, Lord I want to go home
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
About the girl
Who's been waitin' for so long
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, Lord I want to go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
By day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
"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
So I think I'll put my foolish pride
On a southbound freight and let it ride
Back to the loved ones
I left waiting so far behind"
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh, Lord I want to go home
