Last night I went to sleep in Detroit CityI dreamed about them cotton fields of homeI dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brotherAnd I dreamed about the girl who’s been waitin’ for so long
I want to go homeI want to go homeOh, how I want to go home
Home folks think I’m big in Detroit CityFrom the letters that I write they think I’m just fine, yes they doBut by day I make the cars and by night I make the barsIf only they could read between the lines
‘Cause you know I rode a freight train north to Detroit CityAnd after all these years I find I’ve just been wastin’ my timeYou know what I’m gonna do?I’m gonna take my foolish prideGet it on a southbound freight and let it rideI’m gonna go back to the loved onesThe ones I left waiting so far behind
I want to go homeI want to go homeOh, how I want to go home
I want to go homeWhoa, baby I want to go homeOh, how I want to go home
I want to go homeI want to go homeOh, how I want to go home
Reflective writing prompt:
Write about going home.
