Detroit City Lyrics
Detroit City by George Jones
Oh, how 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 that girl who's been waiting for so long.
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
Oh, how 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, and by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines.
(Spoken)
'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 think I'll just take my follish pride
An' Put it on a Southbound freight and ride
(Sang)
And go back to the loved ones
The ones that I left behind.
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home...
