"Don't It Make You Want To Go Home"

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.

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?
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?

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?
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?

Don't it make you wanna go home?
Don't it make you wanna go home?...
