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 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
Going back down to my hometown

Going down to the Greyhound Station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
Good Lord willing and the creeks don’t rise
Watch it for I’ll be right there

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

But there’s a six lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny dipping as a child
And the 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 the childhood days

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

By tomorrow I’ll be right there
