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

All 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 whippoorwill roost on the telephone poles when the Georgia sun goes down

Well 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 some oneway fare

Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise watch it for I'll 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 drugstore down by the riverside where my grandma's cow used to grace

Now the grass don't grow and the rivers don't flow like they did in our childhood days

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

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