[ Featuring Gene Rockwell ]
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna home
Last night I went to sleep
In Detroit City
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mama
Dear old papa, sister and brother
Dreamed about that girl
Who's been waiting for so long
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna home
Some folks think I'm big
In Detroit City
From the letters that I write
They think I'm fine
But by day I make a buck
And by night I make the cut
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 found I'd just been wasting my time
So I guess I'll just take my foolish pride
Put it on the southbound freight and ride
Go on back to those loved ones
The ones I left waiting so far behind
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna home
