(Danny Dill/Mel Tillis)

You Know Last Night I Went To Sleep In Detroit City
And I Dreamed About Those Cotton Fields And Home
I Dreamed About My Mother, Dear Old Papa, Sisters And Brothers
And I Dreamed About A Love Who's Been Waiting There So Long

I Want To Go Home
I Want To Go Home
Oh How I Want To Go Home
My Kinfolks Think I'm Big In Detroit City
From All The Letters That I Write, They Think I'm Fine
By Day I Make The Cars
But, By Night I Make All The Bars
Oh If Only They's Just Read Between The Lines

They'd Know I Want To Go Home
I Want To Go Home
Oh How I Want To Go Home

You Know I Rode A Freight Train North To Detroit City
And After All These Years I Find I've Been Wasting My Time
Think I'll Put My Foolish Pride On A Southbound Train And Ride
Heading Back To The Loved Ones I Left There Waiting Behind

I Want To Go Home
I Want To Go Home
Oh How I Want To Go Home
My Kinfolks Think I'm Big In Detroit City
From All The Letters That I Write, They Think I'm Fine
By Day I Make The Cars
But, By Night I Make All The Bars
Oh If Only They's Just Read Between The Lines
