Detroit City lyrics
Song information
Artist: Webb Pierce Album: Sands Of Gold
Lyrics
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 those 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 [ guitar ] 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 by night I make the bars If only they could read between the lines Now you know I rode the freight train north to detroit city And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time So I just think I'll take my foolish pride and put it on a southbound freight and ride Go on back to the loved ones the ones I left waiting so far behind I wanna go home I wanna go home oh lord I wanna go home
