Detroit City Sözleri

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City

And I dreamed about those cottonfields back home

I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother

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

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

[ guitar ]

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

You know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City

And after so many years well I find that I just wasted my life here all alone

I believe I'm gonna put my foolish pride on a Southbound freight and I'm gonna ride

That's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go back to that girl who loves me

And who's waited so long

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

[ guitar ]

I wanna go home I wanna go home
