[Verse 2]
C G C
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city
G C
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
F
But by day I make the cars

And by night I make the bars
D D7 G
If only they could read between the lines
[Bridge]
C G C
You know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit city
G C
After all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time
F C
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride, put on a southbound train and ride
D G
And go on back to the loved ones, the ones I left waitin' so far behind
[Chorus]
C
I wanna go home
F
I wanna go home
C G C
Oh, how I want to go home
