Song information
Artist: Roy Drusky Album: Songs Of The Cities
Lyrics
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
