Bobby Bare - Don't It Make You Want To Go Home lyrics

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 when the Georgia sun goes down

Well it's been a long time but I'm glad to see 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 watch it for 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 the 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 the 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
