Buddy Cagle - Detroit City 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 waitin' 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
Cause from the letters that I write they think I'm fine
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 took a freight train north to Detroit City
And after all these years I find that I've just been wastin' my time
So I think I'll just take my foolish pride and put on a Southbound freight and ride
And go on back to the loved ones yes the ones that I left waiting so far behind

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
I wanna go home I wanna go home I wanna go home
