dreamed about that girl, who's been waiting for so long. I wanna go
[Chorus] ... as above ...
[Verse] ... as above ...
Home 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
[Chorus] ... as above ...
[Verse] ... spoken ...
Cause you know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit City
And after all these years I find that I've just been wastin' my time
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride, and
put it on a southbound freight and ride
Go on back to the loved ones,
The ones that I left waitin' so far behind
[Chorus] ... as above ...
