Pam Tillis - Detroit City lyrics

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 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 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 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 on a Southbound freight and ride And go on back to the loved ones I left waiting far behind I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
