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 that I’m |
| Goin' back to my home town |
| Goin' down to the Greyhound station |
| Gonna buy me a one-way fare |
| And if the good Lord’s willin' and the creeks don’t rise |
| By tomorrow, ah, I’m gonna be 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 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, wanna go home? |
| (It's different, it’s different, it’s different, so different now) |
| Don’t it make you wanna go home… |
| But all God’s children get weary when they roam |
| And don’t it make you wanna go home… |
