Porter Wagoner - Detroit City 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 the cottonfields and home

I dreamed about my mother dear old papa, sister and brother

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

I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home.

The 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 they could only read between the lines.

I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home.

(Spoken)

You know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City

And after all these years I'd find I've just been wastin' my time

I believe of my foolish pride on a Southbound freight and ride

(Sang)

Back to the loved ones I've left so far behind.

I wanna go home, I wanna go home, oh Lord, I wanna go home...
