Detroit City Lyrics - Pam Tillis

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City 

And I dreamed about those cottonfields back home 

I dreamed about my mama, dear old papa, sister and brother 

And I dreamed about the boy that's been waiting for so long 

I wanna go home, I wanna go home 

Oh, how I want to go home 

Home folks think I'm a big deal in Detroit City 

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

But by day I make the cars, and by night I sing in bars 

If only they could read 'tween the lines 

I wanna go home, I wanna go home 

Oh, how I want to go home 

Rode a Greyhound bus way up north to Detroit City 

It seems like after all this time, maybe I've just been wasting mine 

Think I'm gonna take my foolish pride, put it on southbound dog and ride 

Looking for that boy who's been waiting for so long 

I wanna go home, I wanna go home 

Oh, how I want to go home 

I wanna go home, I wanna go home 

Oh, how I want to go home 

Go home
