Roy Black - Detroit city lyrics

Your rating:

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
And I dreamed about the cotton fields at home.
I dreamed about my mother, dear old Papa, sister and brother
And I dreamed about that girl who’s been waiting for so long.
I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh how I wanna go home.

Home, folks think I’m big in Detroit city, 
From the letters that I write they thinks I’m just fine, yes they do
But by day I make the cars, by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines! If they could…

‘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 that I’ll take my foolish pride and put it on a south bound freight and let it ride
Going back to the loved ones, the ones that I left waitin’ so far behind.

I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh how I wanna go home.
