Intro
(Spoken 1)
Well The Cotton Land Played Out Every Year And We Went North To The Big Car Factory Up North
And You Remember Those Car 1951 Models?
That You See Driving Around Town That The Fender Were All Beat Up On
And The Cars As Been Wreck And In Bad Shape I Made Those Cars In Detroit
(Verse 1)
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 Sister And Brother
I Dreamed About That Girl Who(S Been Waiting For So Long
(Chorus)
I Wanna Go Home, I Wanna Go Home
Oh How I Want To Go Home
(Verse 2)
Home Folks 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, By Night I Make The Bars
If Only They Could Read Between The Lines
(Spoken 2)
But You Know I Rode A Freight Train North To Detroit City
And After All These Years I Find; That I Was Just Wastin’ My Time
So I Think I’ll Just Take My Foolish Pride, Put It On A Southbound Freight And Ride
And Go Home Back To Love’s One; I Left Waitin’here Behind
(Chorus)
I Wanna Go Home, I Wanna Go Home
Oh How I Want To Go Home
