Detroit City Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

I wanna go home I wanna go home 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 

[ guitar ] 

Old 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 all the bars 

If only they could read between the lines 

Now you know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City 

And I've drove this while I find I've just been wastin' my time 

So I think I'm gonna pack up my foolish pride put it on that Southbound train and ride 

And I'll go back to the loved ones the ones I left behind 

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home 

[ guitar ]
