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 roosts on the telephone poles and 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 me a one-way fare
|
Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise by tomorrow I'll be right there
|
Don't it make you wanna go home now...
|
|
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 grass don't grow and the river don't flow like it did in my childhood days
|
Don't it make you wanna go home now...
|
Don't it make you wanna go home don't it make you wanna go home
|
