Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole
And the Georgia sun goes down
It's been a long time
But I'm glad to say I'm
Goin' back to my hometown
Went down to the Greyhound station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
If the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise
By tomorrow, I'll be right there
[Verse 2]
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
And don't it make you wanna go home?
Yeah, don't it make you wanna go home?
[Verse 3]
There's a six-lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny dippin' as a child
And a new picture 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
[Verse 4]
And don't it make you wanna go home, child?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
All God's children get weary when they roam
And don't it make you wanna go home?
Yeah, don't it make you wanna go home?
[Verse 5]
Don't it make you wanna go home now?
Don't it make you wanna go, home?
Yeah, all God's children get weary when they roam
And don't it make you wanna go home?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
