I WANNA GO HOME, I WANNA GO HOME, OH HOW I 
G                         C
WANNA GO HOME
C                                         G                                 C
LAST NIGHT I WENT TO SLEEP IN DETROIT CITY
                                                                              
            G
AND I DREAMED ABOUT THE COTTON FIELDS AND HOME
          C                                                                  
F                            
I DREAMED ABOUT MY MOTHER, DEAR OLD PAPA SISTER 

AND BROTHER
             D
AND I DREAMED ABOUT THE GIRL WHO'S BEEN WAITING 
                G
FOR SO LONG

                                  CHORUS
C                                          G                           C
HOMEFOLKS THINK I'M BIG IN DETROIT CITY
                                                                              
               G
FROM THE LETTERS THAT I WRITE THEY THINK I'M FINE
                C                                              F
BUT BY DAY I MAKE THE CARS BY NIGHT I MAKE THE BARS
          D                                                                G
IF THEY COULD ONLY READ BETWEEN THE LINES

CHORUS

RECITATION
C                                                  G
CAUSE YOU KNOW I ROAD  A FREIGHT TRAIN NORTH TO 
                     C
DETROIT CITY

AND AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I FIND I'VE JUST BEEN 
                          G
WASTING MY TIME
              C                                                               
               F
SO I THINK I'LL TAKE MY FOOLISH PRIDE AND PUT IT ON A 

SOUTH BOUND FREIGHT
          D
AND RIDE AND GO BACK TO THE LOVED ONES 
          G
THE ONES I LEFT BEHIND
