Detroit City Lyrics - Country Charley Pride/pride Of Country Music - Charley Pride

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord 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 

I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long 

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home 

[ guitar ] 

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 by night I make the bars 

If only they could read between the lines 

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 just think I'll take ol' Charley Pride put him on a Southbound freight and ride 

And go on back to the loved ones the ones that I left waiting so far behind 

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home 

[ guitar ] 

I wanna go home I wanna go home I wanna go gome
