Standard (EADGBE)
Last night, I went to sleep in Detroit City.
I dreamed about them cotton fields and home.
I dreamed about my Mother, dear old Pappy,
sister and brother..and I dreamed about that girl,
who`s been waiting for so long.
Chorus
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
Oh, how I wanna go home.
Home folks think I`m big in Detroit City.
From the letters that I write, they think I`m just fine.
(Yes, they do.)
But by day, I make the cars, and by night, I make the bars.
If only they could read between the lines.
SPOKEN:Ad lib.
Cause you know I rode a freight train north,
to Detroit City.
And after all these years I find, I`ve just been
wasting my time.
You know what I`m gonna do?..I`m gonna take my foolish pride,
get it on a southbound freight and let it ride.
I`m gonna go back to the loved ones..the ones that I left
waiting so far behind.
Chorus
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
Oh, how I wanna go home.
(Can`t you hear me?)
Chorus
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
Oh, how I wanna go home.
(Somebody help me!)
Outro
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
Oh, how I wanna go home.
