Lyric Don t It Make You Want to Go Home

(Joe South)

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.

Goin down to the greyhound station
Gonna buy me a oneway fare
Good Lord s willin and the creeks don t rise
Watch it for I ll be right there.

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?

But there s a six lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny dippin as a child
And the driving show where the meadow used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild.

There s a drugstrip down by the riverside
Where my grandma s cow used to grace
Now the grass don t grow and the river don t flow
Like it did in the 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?
Don t it make you wanna go home?

Don t it make you wanna go home?
Don t it make you wanna go home?...
