Detroit City

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 I dreamed about that boy who's been waiting for so long 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 sing in 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 --- Detroit City - Pam Tillis
