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

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
