Detroit City

I wanna go home
I just wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
And I dreamed about those cotton fields 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 just wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
Home folks, they 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
I wanna go home
I really wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
