Detroit City

Danny Dill, Mel Tillis

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
