Detroit CityLast night, I went to sleep in Detroit city,I dreamed about those cotton fields of home, I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother, I dreamed about that girl whose 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 that I rode a freight train north to Detroit city, and after all these years I find that 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 south bound freight and let it ride! I'm gonna go back to the love ones, the ones I left waiting so far behind I wanna go home, yeah I wanna go home, oh how I want to go home, can't you hear me, I wanna go home, Oh baby, how I wanna go home, oh how I wanna go home, Somebody help me, I wanna go home, I wanna go home, Oh how I wanna go home!!!! |
