Porter Wagoner - 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 the cottonfields and home

I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother

And I dreamed about the girl who's waited for so long

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

The homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City

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

By day I make the cars by night I make the bars

If they could only read between the lines

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

You know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City

And after all these years I'd find I've just been wastin' my time

I believe of my foolish pride on a Southbound freight and ride

Back to the loved ones I've left so far behind

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