Don't it make you wanna go home now don't it make you wanna go home

All of God's children get weary when they roam

Don't it make you wanna go home don't it make you wanna go home



Oh the whippoorwills roost on the telephone poles the Georgia sun goes down

It's been a long time but I'm glad to say that I'm

Goin' back down to my hometown

Goin' down to the greyhound station gonna buy me a oneway fare

If the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise tomorrow I will be right there

Don't it make you wanna go home now...

There's a six lane highway down by the creek where I went skinny dippin' as a child

And the driving show where the meadow used to grow

And the strawberries used to grow wild

There's a drugstrip down by the riverside where my grandma's cow used to grace

Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow like it did in my childhood days

Don't it make you wanna go home now...

Don't it make you wanna go home now...

Don't it make you wanna go home now...
