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 some 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...
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 drugstore down by the riverside where my grandma`s cow used to grace
Now the grass don`t grow and the rivers don`t flow like they did in our childhood days
Don`t it make you wanna go home now...
Don`t it make you wanna go home now...
