Don't it make you wanna go home?

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?

Woah, the whip-poor-will roost on the telephone pole

And the Georgia sun goes down

And 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

Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise

By tomorrow, I'll be right there

Don't it make you wanna go home?

Don't it make you wanna go home?

All God's children get weary when thеy roam

Don't it make you wanna go home?

Don't it make you wanna go homе?

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 meadows used to grow

And the strawberries used to grow wild

And there's a drag strip down by the riverside, y'all

Where my grandma's cows, they used to graze

Now the grass don't grow

And that Mississippi 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

And don't it make you wanna go home?

Don't it make you wanna go home?

Wanna see my family

(Don't it make you wanna go home?)

(Don't it make you wanna go home?)

Wanna see my friends

(Don't it make you wanna go home?)

(Don't it make you wanna go home?)

I want key lime on the front porch

I want sweet, sweet tea in the high storm

I'll take my mom's fried chicken with some moonshine

And eat them homemade biscuits with hot jam

Along a long dirt road with a clear sky

Give me that muddy road with some black guys

Oh, sweet Magnolias

Gonna be so happy with everything

Take me on home, home, home, home
