Detroit City Lyrics

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 The cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mother Dear old Papa, sister and brother And I dreamed about that girl Who's been waiting for so long
I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City From the letters that I write They think I'm fine
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/detroit-city-lyrics-george-jones.html ] But by day, I make the cars And by night I make the 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 wasting my time
So I think I'll take my foolish pride And put it on A Southbound freight and ride
And go on back To the loved ones The ones, I left behind
I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home
