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

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
