Detroit City

<br>I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home<br>Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City<br>And I dreamed about those cottonfields and home<br>I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother<br>I dreamed about that girl who`s been waiting for so long<br>I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home<br>[ guitar ]<br>Homefolks think I`m big in Detroit City<br>From the letters that I write they think I`m fine<br>But by day I make the cars by night I make the bars<br>If only they could read between the lines<br>Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City<br>And after all these years I find I`ve just been wasting my time<br>So I just think I`ll take ol` Charley Pride put him on a Southbound freight and ride<br>And go on back to the loved ones the ones that I left waiting so far behind<br>I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home<br>[ guitar ]<br>I wanna go home I wanna go home I wanna go gome
