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   I'm goin' down to the greyhound station gonna buy some oneway fare   Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise tomorrow I will be back 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 there's a driving show where the meadow used to grow   And the strawberries used to grow wild   There's a drugstore down by the riverside where my grandma's cow used to graze   Ah but the grass 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...
