Charley Pride "Detroit City" |
(Mel Tillis - Danny Dill) 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. --- Instrumental --- 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. 'Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit City And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time So I just think I'll take ol' Charley Pride Put him on a Southbound freight and ride And go on back to the loved ones The ones that I left waiting so far behind. I wanna go home, I wanna go home Oh Lord, I wanna go home. --- Instrumental --- I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go home... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
