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 pole
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 me a 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...
But 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 the childhood days
Don't it make you wanna go home now...
Don't it make you wanna go home
Don't it make you wanna go home
