You know Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City. I dreamed about the cotton fields at home I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister, and brother. And I dreamed about the love who's been waitin' for so long I want to go home I want to go home Oh, how I want to 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. 'Cause 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. 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 want to go home, yeah I want to go home Oh, how I want to go home Can't you hear me? I want to go home Whoa, baby, I want to go home Oh, how I want to go home I want to go home, yeah I want to go home, whoa oh Oh, how I want to go home Hmm, I want to go home
