Lyrics

Last night, I went to sleep in detroit city
I dreamed about those cotton fields of home
I dreamed about my mother
Dear old papa, sister and brother
I dreamed about that girl whose been waiting for so long
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home!

Home, folks think I'm big in detroit city
From the letters that I write, they think I'm just fine - yes they do
But by day I make the cars
And by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines!

(Spoken)

Cause you know that
I rode a freight train north to detroit city
And after all these years
I find that I've just been wasting my time
You know what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna take my foolish pride
Get it on a south bound freight and let it ride!
I'm gonna go back to the love ones
The ones I left waiting so far behind

I wanna go home, yeah
I wanna go home
Oh how I want to go home
Can't you hear me
I wanna go home
Oh baby
How I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
Somebody help me
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home!!!!
