Don't It Make You Wanna Go Home

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?

The whippoorwill roost on the telephone pole

When the Georgia sun goes down

Well, it's been a long time but I'm glad to say

That I'm going back down to my hometown

Going down to the Greyhound station

Gonna buy me a one-way fare

The good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise

Tomorrow I'll be right back there

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?

There's a six-lane highway down by the creek

Where I went skinny-dipping as a child

And a drive-in show where the meadows used to grow

And strawberries used to grow wild

There's a drag strip down by the riverside

Where my grandma's cow used to graze

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?

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?
