It's pretty old..it talks about Illinois in the very beginning.
It says "I wanna go home" alot.
It has a catchy tune.

Van Morrison - I Wanna Go Home
Sailed on the sloop john b
My granddaddy and me
'round nassau town we did roam
We'd been drinkin' all night
Well i got into a fight
Yeah and i feel so broke up
I wanna go home
Hoist up the john b sail's
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home, i wanna go home, yeah
'cause i feel so broke up, i wanna go home
Yes i do
(he's so broke up, lord, i wanna go home)
Well captain's a wicked man
He gets drunk any time he can
And he don't give a damn for grandpappy
No, nor me
He kicks us around
And he knocks us about
Well i feel so broke up, i
I wanna go home
Well pull up the john b's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Send for the captain ashore
And let me go home
I wanna go home
Well, i wanna go home
'cause i feel so broke up (he's so broke up)
I wanna go home
(yes i do)
I feel so broke up
(he so broke up)
Lord, that i wanna go home
Home

Actually it's a country song. Detroit City is the name first recorded by Bobby Bare Here are the lyrics.
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City,
and I dreamed about those cotton fields at home.
I dreamed about my mother,
dear old Papa, Sister and brother,
I dreamed about that girl
who's been waiting for so long.
I wanna go home, I wanna go home,
oh, how I wanna go home!
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,
and by night I make the bars,
If only they could read between the lines!
[Spoken]
You know,
I rode a freight train north to Detroit City.
After all these years,
I find that I've just been wastin' my time.
So I just think I'll take my foolish pride,
put on a south bound freight and ride,
Goin' back to the love ones,
The ones I left waitin' so far behind.
I wanna go home, I wanna go home,
oh, how I want to go home.

It may not be old but Michael Buble has a song called "Home" that has that line in the chorus.
