Bill Anderson - Detroit City lyrics
Your rating:
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 daddy sister and brother And I dreamed about the sweetheart 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 only they could 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 up north to Detroit City And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time I think I'm just gonna take my foolish pride And put on a Southbound freight and ride. Back to the loved ones who waited for so long I wanna go home, I wanna go home, Oh Lord, I wanna go home. I wanna go home, I wanna go home Oh Lord, I wanna go home...
