Don't It Make You Want To Go Home Lyrics - Classic Masters - Joe South

With The Believers 

Don't it make you want to go home? 

Don't it make you want to go home? 

All God's children get weary when they roam 

Don't it make you want to go home? 

Don't it make you want to go home? 

Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole 

And the Georgia sun goes down 

Well, it's been a long, long time 

But I'm glad to say that I am 

Goin' back to my home town 

Goin' down to the Greyhound station 

Gonna buy me a one-way fare 

And if the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise 

By tomorrow I'm gonna be there 

Don't it make you want to go home? 

Don't it make you want to go home? 

All God's children get weary when they roam 

Don't it make you want to go home? 

Don't it make you want to 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 meadows 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? 

Don't it make you wanna go home? 

All God's children get weary when they roam 

Don't it make you wanna, wanna go home?
