Story behind the song
Mick Jones sings this classic country song that was recorded by Bobby Bare of the early sixties with some down under flavor
Lyrics
I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City And I dreamed about those cottonfields and home I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home Homefolks 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 by night I make the bars If only they could read between the lines Cause you know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time So I just think I'll take my foolish pride and put it on a Southbound freight and ride And go on back to the loved ones the ones that I left waitin' so far behind I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home Danny Dill and Mel Tillis

I love the original of this song, I used to play it in bars many moons ago, but you guys made it your own, which is what I want to hear, and made it different enough to pass as a new song, I like what you've done, really enjoyed it, not just because it's a great song with great lyrics, but because you guys have made it your own, and did a great job doing it.

I know I've heard this song before, but just don't remember it. Excellent production - reminds me of Neil Young with an alternate twist. Well done collab!!

You can really put a interesting twist in a song. I'm sure Mr. Bare would enjoy this as well if he heard it. 5 stars from me on this great arrangement!
