Don't it make you wanna go home, now? Don't it make you wanna go home? All of God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you wanna go home? Oh, the whippoorwill roost on a telephone pole As a Georgia sun goes down It's been a long time, but I'm glad to say Goin' back to my hometown Goin' down to the Greyhound station Goin' to buy me a one-way fare The good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise Tomorrow, I'll be right there. Don't it make you wanna go home, now? Don't it make you wanna go home? All of God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you wanna go home? (Organ instrumental break) There's a six-lane highway down by the creek Where I went skinny-dippin' as a child A drive-in show where the meadows used to grow And strawberries used to grow wild A drag strip down by the riverside Where m'grandma's cow used to graze The grass don't grow and the rivers don't flow Like they did in m'childhood days. Don't it make you wanna go home, now? Don't it make you wanna go home? All of God's children get weary when they roam Don't it make you wanna go home? Don't it make you wanna go home, now? Don't it make you wanna go home? All of God's children get...
Don't it make you wanna go home, now?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
All of God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home?
Oh, the whippoorwill roost on a telephone pole
As a Georgia sun goes down
It's been a long time, but I'm glad to say
Goin' back to my hometown
Goin' down to the Greyhound station
Goin' to buy me a one-way fare
The good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise
Tomorrow, I'll be right there.
Don't it make you wanna go home, now?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
All of God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home?

There's a six-lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny-dippin' as a child
A drive-in show where the meadows used to grow
And strawberries used to grow wild
A drag strip down by the riverside
Where m'grandma's cow used to graze
The grass don't grow and the rivers don't flow
Like they did in m'childhood days.
