Don't It Make You Wanna Go Home

Oh the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole

And 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 home town

Goin' down to the Greyhound station

Gonna buy me a one-way fare

Well if the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise

By tomorrow I'll be right there

Don't it make you want to go home

Don't it make you want to go home

All God's children get weary when they roam

Don't it make you want to go home

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

Where I went skinny-dippin' as a child

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

And the 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 want to go home

Don't it make you want to go home

All God's children get weary when they roam

Don't it make you want to go home
