George Jones - I Wanna Go Home 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 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 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 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 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 I left waitin' so far behind I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home
