Mel Tillis "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 And I dreamed about the girl that's been waiting for so long. I wanna go home, I wanna go home Oh Lord, I wanna go home. --- Instrumental --- Now the homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City From the letters that I write they think I'm just fine By day I make the cars and by night I'm a making the bars Lord, if only they could read between the lines. As you know I rode a long black freight train way up north to Detroit City But after all these years I find that, well, I've just been wastin' my time But you know what I think, I'm gonna do folks, I'm gonna take my foolish pride And put it on a Southbound freight and ride. I wanna go home. I wanna go home Oh Lord, I wanna go home... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
