Porter Wagoner - Detroit City lyrics

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City And I dreamed about the cottonfields and home I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother And I dreamed about the girl who's waited for so long I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home The 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 they could only read between the lines I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home You know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City And after all these years I'd find I've just been wastin' my time I believe of my foolish pride on a Southbound freight and ride Back to the loved ones I've left so far behind I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home
