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?
Lord, don't it make you wanna go home?
Oh, the whippoorwill roosts
On the telephone pole
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well, it's been a long time
But I'm glad to say
I'm going back down to my hometown
Going down to the Greyhound station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
Now, the good Lord willing
And the creek don't rise
By tomorrow I'll be right there
Now, don't it make you wanna go home now?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
All God's children get wеary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go homе?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
But there's a six-lane highway
Down by the creek
Where I went skinny-dipping 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, it don't grow
And the river, it 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?
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home?
Lord, 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 God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home?
Oh, don't it make you wanna go home?
Now, 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?
Lord, 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, boy?
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?
