[00:00.00]Detroit City - Bobby Bare
[00:11.15]I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
[00:27.34]Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
[00:34.70]And I dreamed about those cottonfields and home
[00:43.32]I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother
[00:51.13]I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long
[00:58.26]I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
[01:23.36]Homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City
[01:30.58]From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
[01:38.07]But by day I make the cars by night I make the bars
[01:46.75]If only they could read between the lines
[01:55.63]Cause you know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City
[02:02.19]And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time
[02:09.20]So I just think I'll take my foolish pride and put it on a Southbound freight and ride
[02:17.55]And go on back to the loved ones the ones that I left waitin' so far behind
[02:25.43]I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
