Don't it make you wanna go home?
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?
I see the whip-poor-will sittin' upon the telephone pole
That old Georgia sun is goes down
It's been a long, long time, but I'm glad that I'm going back
To my hometown
Oh Lord, I'm goin' down to the Greyhound station
Everybody gonna buy me a one-way fare
If the good Lord's willin' and the river don't rise
By tomorrow night, I ought to be there
Everybody sing
Don't it make you wanna go home? Oh Lord, yeah, oh
Don't it make you wanna go home? Don't you note here
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home?
Now, old man buys farm down by the creek
We went skinny-dippin' as a child
There's a drive-in show where the meadows used to grow
And the strawberries, they used to grow wild
There's a drag strip down by the riverside
Where my grandma cow used to graze
Where the grass don't grow, the river don't flow no more
Like it did in my childhood days
Everybody sing
Don't it make you wanna go home?
Don't it make you wanna go home? Oh, Lord
You know, all God's children get weary when they roam
Oh, don't it make you wanna go home?
Everything looks so different, now, it's different, now
Everything is so different, now
Lord, Lord, it looks different, now, looks different, now
I know everything looks so different, now
One more time
Don't it make you wanna go home?
Oh Lord, don't it make you wanna go home? Oh, Lord
You know, all God's children get weary when they roam
Feel like I wanna go home?
One more time
Don't it make you wanna go home? Oh
(Don't it make you wanna go home?) Oh Lord, I really do
You know, all God's children get weary when they roam
Oh, don't it make you wanna go home?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
