Detroit City lyrics
Song information
Artist: Ferlin Husky Album: Just For You
Lyrics
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 I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long I wanna go home I wanna go home oh lord I wanna go home Now homefolks think I'm big in detroit city From the letters that I write they think I'm fine But by day I make the cars and at 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 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 think I'll take my foolish pride get on a southbound freight and ride And go on back to the loved ones all the loved ones that I left waiting so far behind I wanna go home I wanna go home oh lord I wanna go home Oh lord I wanna go home
