C Dm
Oh the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole
G C
And the Georgia sun goes down
C Dm
Well it's been a long time but I'm glad to say I'm
G C
Goin' back down to my home town
C Dm
Goin' down to the Greyhound station
G C
Gonna buy me a one way fare
C Dm
Good lord willin' and the creek don't rise
G C
By tomorrow I'll be right there
C Dm
Don't it make you want to go home now
G C
Don't it make you want to go home
C Dm
All God's children get weary when they roam
G C
Don't it make you want to go home
C Dm
But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek
G Dm
Where I went skinny dippin' as a child
C Dm
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow
G C
And strawberries used to grow wild
C Dm
There's a drag strip down by the riverside
G C
Where my grandma's cow used to graze
C Dm
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
G C
Like it did in my childhood days
C Dm
Don't it make you want to go home now
G C
Don't it make you want to go home
C Dm
All God's children get weary when they roam
G C
Don't it make you want to go home
G C
Don't it make you want to go home
(solo)
D Em
Don't it make you want to go home now
A D
Don't it make you want to go home
D Em
All God's children get weary when they roam
A D
Don't it make you want to go home
A D
Don't it make you want to go home
