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 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?
