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 whipporwhills roost on the telephone poles 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 home town Goin' down to the Greyhound station Gonna buy us a one way fare Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise Tomorrow we'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 cows used to graze But the grass don't grow and the river don't flow Like it did in our 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 And God, how I want to go home Don't it make you want to go home
