I Wanna Go Home I Wanna Go Home Oh How 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 How I Wanna Go Home
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
Cause 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
And Go On Back To The Loved Ones The Ones That I Left Waitin' So Far Behind
I Wanna Go Home I Wanna Go Home Oh How I Wanna Go Home
