Chorus:
^CDon't it make you wanna go ^Dmhome now
^GDon't it make you wanna go ^Chome
^CAll God's children get ^Dmweary when they roam
^GDon't it make you wanna go ^Ghome
^CDon't it make you wanna go ^Ghome

v.1
^COh the whipporwill roosts on the ^Ftelephone pole
As the ^GGeorgia sun goes ^Cdown
^CIt's been a long time and I'm ^Fglad to say that I'm
Goin' ^Gback down to my home^Ctown
Goin' 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

Rpt. Ch.

v.2
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 meadow used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild

There's a dragstrip down by the riverside
Where my grandma's cows used to graze
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days

Rpt. Ch. to end
