Hank Williams Jr. - Detroit City lyrics

[Hank Williams Jr. - 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
Cottonfields and home
I dreamed about my mother dear
Old papa sister and brother
And 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

Old 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 and
By night I make all the bars
If only they could read between the lines
Now you know I rode the freight
Train north to Detroit City
And I've drove this while I find
I've just been wastin' my time
So I think I'm gonna pack
Up my foolish pride
Put it on that Southbound train and ride
And I'll go back to the loved
Ones the ones I left behind
I wanna go home I wanna go home
Oh how I wanna go home
