Carl Perkins — Detroit City

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home Oh, I dreamed about my mother, my Dad, sisters and brother And 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 The home folks think I'm big in Detroit City From the letters I write home they think I'm fine 'Cause the day I make the cars, then at night I make the bars If only they could read between the lines 'Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Dеtroit City And after all these yеars I find I've just been wasting my time So I think I'll take my foolish pride Put it on a south bound freight and ride And go back to the love ones The ones I left behind I wanna go home I wanna go home Oh Lord, I wanna go home I wanna go home I wanna go home
