[00:11.15] I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
[00:24.49]
[00:27.34] Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
[00:32.15]
[00:34.70] And I dreamed about those cottonfields and home
[00:40.26]
[00:43.32] I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother
[00:49.95]
[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
[01:11.99]
[01:23.36] Homefolks think I'm big in Detroit City
[01:28.10]
[01:30.58] From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
[01:35.70]
[01:38.07] But by day I make the cars by night I make the bars
[01:45.68]
[01:46.75] If only they could read between the lines
[01:52.38]
[01:55.63] Cause you know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City
[01:59.37]
[02:02.19] And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time
[02:06.76]
[02:09.20] So I just think I'll take my foolish pride and put it on a Southbound freight and ride
[02:15.29]
[02:17.55] And go on back to the loved ones the ones that I left waitin' so far behind
[02:23.93]
[02:25.43] I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home
