#1.
G C
Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone
D G
pole and the Georgia sun goes down.
G C
Well, it's been a long time but I'm glad
D
to say, that I am goin' back down to my home
G
town.

G C
Goin' down to the Greyhound station.

Gonna buy me a one-way fare.

And if the good Lord's willin' and the creeks
D G
don't rise..by tomorrow I'll be right there.

#3.
G C
But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek,
D G
where I went skinny-dippin' as a child.
G C
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow
D G
and the strawberries used to grow wild.
#4.
G C
There's a drag strip down by the riverside,
D G
where my grandma's cow used to graze.
G C
Now, the grass don't grow and the river don't flow,
D G
like it did in my childhood days.
CHORUS:
G D A Am
Don't it make you want to go home, now?
D G
Don't it make you want to go home?
D A
All God's children get weary when they roam.

Don't it make you want to go home?
D G
Don't it make you want to go home?
