I want to go home I want to go home oh Lord I want to 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 want to go home I want to go home oh Lord I want to go home Home folks 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 by night I make the bars If only they could read between the lines 'Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time So I just think I'll take ol' Charley Pride put him on a Southbound freight and ride And go on back to the loved ones the ones that I left waiting so far behind I want to go home I want to go home oh Lord I want to go home I want to go home I want to go home I want to go gome
