I wanna go home,
I wanna go home,
Oh, how I want to go home.
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City,
I dreamed about those cotton field back home
I dreamed about my mother, my daddy, sisters and brothers
and I dreamed about this girl who I left waiting for so long
I want to go home
See, I want to go home,
Oh, how I want to go home
You see, the homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City,
from the letters that I write they think I'm doing fine, yes they do
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
if only they could read between the lines
Because, you know, I caught a freight train to Detroit City,
And after all these years I realized now
I've just been wasting my time
You know, what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna take this foolish pride
get on a southbound freight and let it ride
And go back to those ones who love me
Those ones that are waiting for me
Waiting back behind
I wanna go home,
can you help me get back home,
Somebody .... oh.
Oh, how I want to go home home,
I just got to get home,
Oh, you see, I got to get home.
