Detroit City - Charley Pride

作词：Danny Dill/Mel Tillis

作曲：Danny Dill/Mel Tillis

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

I dreamed about that girl

who's been waiting for so long

I want to go home

I want to go home

oh Lord I want to go home

Home folks 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 a freight train

north to Detroit City

And after all these years

I find I've just been wasting my time

So I just think I'll take ol' Charley Pride

put him on a Southbound freight and ride

And go on back to the loved ones

the ones that I left waiting so far behind

I want to go home

I want to go home

oh Lord I want to go home

I want to go home

I want to go home

I want to go gome
