Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City and dreamed about the life I left at home I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother I dreamed about the 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 But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars If they could only read between the lines I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home Cause you know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City And after all these years I find that I've 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 I left so far behind I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
