I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home 我想回家我想回家我多么想回家

Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City 昨天晚上，我去了底特律城睡觉

And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home 我梦见那些棉田和家庭

I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother 我梦见我妈妈亲爱的老爸爸的姐姐和弟弟

I dreamed about that girl who's been waiting for so long 我梦见那个女孩是谁一直在等待这么久

Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City 家里人认为我是在大底特律市

From the letters that I write they think I'm fine 从我写的，他们认为我很好的字母

But by day I make the cars by night I make the bars 但是，那天我晚上做车我做了吧

If only they could read between the lines 只要他们能在字里行间

Cause you know I rode the freight train north to Detroit City 因为你知道我乘坐货运火车北至底特律市

And after all these years I find I've just been wastin' my time 而这么多年过去了，我觉得我一直在浪费自己的时间我

So I just think I'll take my foolish pride 所以，我只是想我会带我的愚蠢的骄傲

And put on a Southbound freight and ride 并换上了南向货运和骑

And go on back to the loved ones I left waiting far behind 并继续回到亲人，我离开等待不甘落后

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh how I wanna go home 我想回家我想回家我多么想回家
