Detroit City Songtext
von Dolly Parton

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 Detraoit 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
I want to go home
I want to go home
Oh how I want to go home
I want to go home
Yes I want to go home
Oh how I want to go home
I want to go home
Yes I want to go home
