# DETROIT CITY by Bobby Bare Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home I dreamed about my mamma Dear old papa sister and brother Dreamed about that girl who has been waiting for so long Chorus I want to go home I want to go home Oh Lord,I want to go home Some folks think I'm big in Detroit city From the letters that I write,they think I'm fine But by day I make the cars By night I make the bars If only they could read between the lines Repeat Chorus
