(Mel Tillis - Danny Dill)      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   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.      --- Instrumental ---      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 the freight train north to Detroit City   And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time   So I just think I'll take my foolish pride   And put it on a Southbound freight and ride.   And go on back to the loved ones, the ones that I left waitin' so far behind.      I wanna go home, I wanna go home,   Oh, how I wanna go home...
