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
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 hometown
Goin' down to the greyhound station
Gonna buy me a oneway fare
Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise
But tomorrow 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 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 my childhood days

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