Don’t It Make You Want To Go Home

Lyrics

[Chorus] 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 go home? Don't it make you wanna go home? [Verse] Woah, the whip-poor-will roost on the telephone pole And the Georgia sun goes down And it's been a long time, but I'm glad to say I'm goin' back down to my hometown [Verse] Goin' down to the Greyhound station Gonna buy me a one-way fare Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise By tomorrow, I'll be right there [Chorus] Don't it make you wanna go home? Don't it make you wanna go home? All God's children get weary when thеy roam Don't it make you wanna go home? Don't it make you wanna go homе? [Instrumental Break] [Verse] 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 [Bridge] And there's a drag strip down by the riverside, y'all Where my grandma's cows, they used to graze Now the grass don't grow And that Mississippi river, it don't flow Like it did in my childhood days [Chorus] 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? Don't it make you wanna go home? Wanna see my family (Don't it make you wanna go home?) (Don't it make you wanna go home?) Wanna see my friends (Don't it make you wanna go home?) (Don't it make you wanna go home?) [Outro] I want key lime on the front porch I want sweet, sweet tea in the high storm I'll take my mom's fried chicken with some moonshine And eat them homemade biscuits with hot jam Along a long dirt road with a clear sky Give me that muddy road with some black guys Oh, sweet Magnolias [??] Gonna be so happy with everything Take me on home, home, home, home
