Don't it make you want to go home now?
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?
Don't it make you want to go home?
Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole,
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 home town
Goin' down to the Greyhound station,
gonna buy me a one way fare
Good lord willin' and the creeks don't rise,
by tomorrow I'll be right there
Don't it make you want to go home now?
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?
Don't it make you want to go home?
But 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 meadow 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 now?
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?
Don't it make you want to go home?
Don't it make you want to go home now?
Don't it make you want to go home?
All God's children get weary when they roam,
God how I want to go home 3x
