I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord 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 Lord I wanna go home

[ guitar ]

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

Now 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

Go on back to the loved ones the ones I left waiting so far behind

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home

  • After The Boy Gets The Girl
    "My story begins where most stories end after the boy gets the girl

    Are you sincere when you say you miss me..."
  • Back Street Affair
    "You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me

    It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in you place
    Because they call our love a back street affair..."

    Now I know you're seeing someone else but I love you inspite of my soul..."

    When he kissed his love goodbye
    He had broken their engagement
    For to her he told a lie..."

    And the storm's a brewing in this heart of mine
    This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
    You're someone else's love now you're not mine..."
  • Crying Over You (1958)

  • Drifting Texas Sand
    "I went to the river to water my horse I couldn't find the river just rode across
    On that drifting shifting Texas sand

    Well sand in my coffee sand in my tea when I die they're gonna bury me..."
