Last night i went to sleep in detroit city
And i dreamed about those cotton fields and home
Oh, i dreamed about my mother, my dad, sisters and brother
And i dreamed about that girl who’s been waiting for so long
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh lord, i wanna go home
The home folks think i’m big in detroit city
From the letters i write home they think i’m fine
’cause the day i make the cars, then at night i make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
’cause you know i rode a freight train north to dеtroit city
And after all these yеars i find
I’ve just been wasting my time
So i think i’ll take my foolish pride
Put it on a south bound freight and ride
And go back to the love ones
The ones i left behind
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh lord, i wanna go home
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
