Lyrics

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City And I dreamed about those cotton fields back home I dreamed about my mother Dear old papa sister and brother I dreamed about the boy that's 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 fine But by day I make the cars And by night I sing in bars If only they could read between the lines I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh how I wanna go home I rode a Greyhound bus way up north Detroit City It seems like after all this time maybe I've been wastin' mine Think I'll take my foolish pride Put it on a Southbound dog and ride Looking for that boy who's been waiting for so long I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh how I want to go home I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh how I want to go home Go home
