Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
I dreamed about them cotton fields of home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brother
And I dreamed about the girl whos been waitin for so long

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home

Home folks think Im big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think Im fine
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
I dreamed about them cotton fields of home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brother
And I dreamed about the girl whos been waitin for so long

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home

Home folks think Im big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think Im fine
But by day I make the cars and by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines

I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Oh, how I wanna go home
