Detroit City lyrics
You know last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sisters and brothers And I dreamed about a love who's been waiting there so long I want to go home I want to go home Oh how I want to go home My kinfolks think I'm big in Detroit city From all the letters that I write, they think I'm fine By day I make the cars But, by night I make all the bars Oh if only they's just read between the lines They'd know I want to go home I want to go home Oh how I want to go home You know I rode a freight train north to Detroit city And after all these years I find I've been wasting my time Think I'll put my foolish pride on a southbound train and ride Heading back to the loved ones I left there waiting behind I want to go home I want to go home Oh how I want to go home My kinfolks think I'm big in Detroit city From all the letters that I write, they think I'm fine By day I make the cars But, by night I make all the bars Oh if only they's just read between the lines
