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 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 Goin' back down to my hometown Goin' down to the greyhound station gonna buy some oneway fare Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise watch it for I'll be right there Don't it make you wanna go home now... There's a six lane highway down by the creek where I went skinny dippin' as a child And the driving show where the meadow used to grow And the strawberries used to grow wild There's a d**tore down by the riverside where my grandma's cow used to grace Now the gra** don't grow and the rivers don't flow like they did in our childhood days Don't it make you wanna go home now... Don't it make you wanna go home now...
