Cla**ic Country - Detroit City - Bobby Bare lyrics

I want to go home, I want to go home, Oh Lord, I want to 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, And I dreamed about that girl, whose been waitin' for so long, I want to go home, I want to go home, Oh Lord, I want to 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, by night I make the bars, If only they could read between the lines, I want to go home, I want to go home, Oh Lord, I want to go home, I rode a freight train north to Detroit city, After all these years I've been wasting my time, I'll take my foolish pride, on a southbound freight and ride, Go on back to the ones, EI've left waitin' so far behind, I want to go home, I want to go home, Oh Lord, I want to go home.
