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

I'm goin' down to the greyhound station gonna buy some oneway fare

Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise tomorrow I will be back 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 there's a 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 graze

Ah but 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...
