Detroit City Lyrics - Dolly Parton

You know 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, sisters and brothers 

And I dreamed about a love who's been waiting there so long 

I want to go home 

I want to go home 

Oh how I want to go home 

My kinfolks think I'm big in Detraoit city 

From all the letters that I write, they think I'm fine 

By day I make the cars 

But, by night I make all the bars 

Oh if only they's just read between the lines

You know I rode a freight train north to Detroit city 

And after all these years I find I've been wasting my time 

Think I'll put my foolish pride on a southbound train and ride 

Heading back to the loved ones I left there waiting behind 

Repeat Chorus
