Pam Tillis - Detroit City lyrics
[Pam Tillis - Detroit City lyrics]
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
