Intro I wanna go home....I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home. Verse 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, and I dreamed about the girl.... who?s been waiting for so long. NC I wanna go home....I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home. Instrumental Verse Home folks 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 only read between the lines... Verse 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 my foolish pride and put it on a south bound freight and ride and go on back to the loved ones The ones I left waiting so far behind NC I wanna go home....I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home.
