Mel Tillis - 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 those cottonfields and home

I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother

And I dreamed about the girl that's been waiting for so long

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home

[ guitar ]

Now the homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City

From the letters that I write they think I'm just fine

By day I make the cars and by night I'm a makin' the bars

Lord if only they could read between the lines

As you know I rode a long black freight train way up north to Detroit City

But after all these years I find that well I've just been wastin' my time

But you know what I think I'm gonna do folks I'm gonna take my foolish pride

And put it on a Southbound freight and ride

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home
