Will a whippoorwill roost on
when the Georgia sun goes down?
Well, it's been a long time
I'm going down to the railroad station,
I'm gonna buy me a one -way fare.
Good Lord willing, and the river don't rise
By tomorrow I'll be right there
Don't it make you wanna go home?
All God's children get weary
Don't it make you wanna go home?
There's a six -lane highway
Where I went swimming as a child
where the meadow used to grow
And the strawberries used
There's a racetrack down by the river
where my grandma's cow used to graze
like it did in my childhood days
Don't it make you wanna go home?
All God's children get weary
Don't it make you want to go home?
Don't it make you want to go home?
Don't it make you want to go home?
All God's children get weary
Don't it make you want to go home?
Don't it make you want to go home?
Don't it make you want to go home now?
Don't it make you want to go home?
All God's children get weary
Don't it make you wanna go home?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
