Oh the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone
poles when the Georgia sun goes down
Well it's been a long time but
Goin' back down to my hometown
Goin' down to the Greyhound Sta
tion gonna buy me a one-way fare
Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't
rise watch it for I'll be right there
Don't it make you wanna go home
But there's a six lane highway
Where I went skinny dippin' as a child
And the drive-in show show where
And the strawberries used
There's a drag strip down by the riverside
where my grandma's cow used to graze
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't
flow like it did in the childhood days
Don't it make you wanna go
Don't it make you wanna go home
don't it make you wanna go home
