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.
