E B E
Home folks think I`m big in Detroit City.
E B E
From the letters that I write, they think I`m just fine.
(Yes, they do.)
A E
But by day, I make the cars, and by night, I make the bars.
F# B
If only they could read between the lines.
SPOKEN:Ad lib.
B
Cause you know I rode a freight train north,
E
to Detroit City.
E B
And after all these years I find, I`ve just been
E
wasting my time.
A
You know what I`m gonna do?..I`m gonna take my foolish pride,
E
get it on a southbound freight and let it ride.
F# B
I`m gonna go back to the loved ones..the ones that I left
waiting so far behind.
CHORUS:
B E A
I wanna go home..I wanna go home.
E B E
Oh, how I wanna go home.
(Can`t you hear me?)

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City,
A
and I dreamed about those cotton fields at home.
I dreamed about my mother,
E
dear old Papa, Sister and brother,
F#
I dreamed about that girl
B7
who's been waiting for so long.
E A
I wanna go home, I wanna go home,
B7 E
oh, how I wanna go home!
E
Home, folks think I'm big in Detroit City.
A
From the letters that I write, they think I'm fine.
But by day, I make the cars,
E
and by night I make the bars,
F# B7
If only they could read between the lines!
[Spoken]
E
You know,
I rode a freight train north to Detroit City.
After all these years,
A
I find that I've just been wastin' my time.
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride,
E
put on a south bound freight and ride,
F#
Goin' back to the love ones,
B7
The ones I left waitin' so far behind.
E A
I wanna go home, I wanna go home,
B7 E
oh, how I want to go home.
