Detroit City - Bobby Bare Lyrics

I want to go home, I want to go home,

Oh Lord, I want to go home,

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city,

And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home,

I dreamed about my mother,

dear old papa, sister and brother,

And I dreamed about that girl,

whose been waitin' for so long,

by night I make the bars,

If only they could read between the lines,

I'll take my foolish pride,

on a southbound freight and ride,

Go on back to the ones,

EI've left waitin' so far behind,

I want to go home, I want to go home,

Oh Lord, I want to go home.
