Joe South - Don't It Make You Want To Go Home lyrics

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 whipporwill 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 Goin' back down to my home town Goin' down to the Greyhound station Gonna buy me a one way fare Good lord willin' and the creeks don't rise By tomorrow I'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 cow used to graze Now the gra** 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 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
