Webb Pierce - Detroit City Lyrics



Webb Pierce - Detroit City Lyrics




I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord 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

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

[ guitar ]

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 by night I make the bars

If only they could read between the lines

Now 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 it on a Southbound freight and ride

Go on back to the loved ones the ones I left waiting so far behind

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home
