  • 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
  • And I dreamed about the girl whos been waitin?for so long
  • I wanna go home
  • I wanna go home
  • Oh, how I wanna go home
  • Home folks think Im big in Detroit City
  • From the letters that I write they think Im 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 I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
  • And after all these years I find Ive just been wastin?my time
  • You know what Im gonna do?
  • Im gonna take my foolish pride
  • Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride
  • Im gonna go back to the loved ones
  • The ones I left waiting so far behind]
  • I wanna go home, yeah
  • I wanna go home
  • Oh, how I wanna go home [Cant you hear me?]
  • I wanna go home
  • Whoa, baby I wanna go home
  • Oh, how I wanna go home [Somebody help me]
  • I wanna go home, yeah
  • I wanna go home, whoa oh
  • Oh, how I wanna go home
  • FADE Hmm, I wanna go home
