Roy Drusky - Detroit City lyrics

(Mel Tillis - Danny Dill)

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
And I dreamed about the cottonfields back home
I dreamed about my mother dear ol' 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.

--- Instrumental ---

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.Roy Drusky - Detroit City - http://motolyrics.com/roy-drusky/detroit-city-lyrics.html

You know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
And after so many years, well, I find that
I've 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 and 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.

--- Instrumental ---

I wanna go home, I wanna go home...
