Don't it make you want to go home?
Don't it make you want to go home?
All of 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
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well it's been a long, long time
But I'm glad to say that I am
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 willing and the creeks don't rise
By tomorrow 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?
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 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?
Don't to make you want to go home?
