Lyrics Don’t It Make You Wanta Go Home by Jerry Reed

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?
Lord, don't it make you wanna go home?

Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well, it's been a long time but I'm glad to say
I'm goin' back down to my hometown
Goin' down to the Greyhound station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
Now, the good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
By tomorrow I'll be right there

Now, don't it make you wanna go home now?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
All God's children get wеary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go homе?
Don't it make you wanna 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 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 gra**, it don't grow, and the river it don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days
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?
Lord, don't it make you wanna go home?

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?
Oh, don't it make you wanna go home?

Now, 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?

Lord, 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 now, boy?
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?
