Song Lyrics:

{some words spelled incorrectly like he pronounces them}

That's right, Leroy tune it up with the drum
That sounds real good

I don't wanna go home
Why should I
I don't wanna go home
Nobody wants to go home
And I'll tell you why

Last night I took a nap in Detroit City
And I dreamed about my Papa's old cotton patch
My poor back was breaking (oh)
Both my knees was aching (ah)
The red bugs kept on biting (ow)
But I didn't have time to scratch (oh, gosh)

I don't wanna go home
I don't wanna go home
Nobody wants to go home

Oh, that's far Leroy
I thought you had it in tune there once
Got a little slippage

Well, Bobby, I hear you're leaving Detroit City
Going back to the hills in Tennessee
But I'll still make the cars
And I'll still make the bars
Lots of crazy little women
To keep me company

You see I work in this automobile factory in Detroit City (yeah)
In the shock exsorber division
Did you ever look inside one of them shock exsorbers (no)
Well, they got a little old round washer
Right in the top of them, see (yeah?)
And my job is to cram this little round washer
Into every one of them shock exsorbers
That comes down that long conveyor belt (yeah?)
Heck, I only been there six years and
I'm already the number one washer crammer
In the whole shock exsorber division (all right)
That's right

I don't wanna go home
I don't wanna go home
Nobody wants to go home

I'm have to send Leroy home
If he don't get that dern thing in tune
Come on, Leroy, keep trying, son
And don't give up for a minute
Play like Grady Martin
If you get a chance

(Dave AuJus)
