D Em Oh the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole A D And the Georgia sun goes down D Em Well itʼs been a long time but Iʼm glad to say Iʼm A D Goinʼ back down to my home town D Em Goinʼ down to the Greyhound station A D Gonna buy me a one way fare D Em Good lord willinʼ and the creek donʼt rise A D By tomorrow Iʼll be right there D Em Donʼt it make you want to go home now A D Donʼt it make you want to go home D Em All Godʼs children get weary when they roam A D Donʼt it make you want to go home D Em But thereʼs a six-lane highway down by the creek A D Where I went skinny dippinʼ as a child D Em And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow A D And strawberries used to grow wild D Em Thereʼs a drag strip down by the riverside A D Where my grandmaʼs cow used to graze D Em Now the grass donʼt grow and the river donʼt flow A D Like it did in my childhood days D Em Donʼt it make you want to go home now A D Donʼt it make you want to go home D Em All Godʼs children get weary when they roam A D Donʼt it make you want to go home A D Donʼt it make you want to go home E F#m Donʼt it make you want to go home now B E Donʼt it make you want to go home E F#m All Godʼs children get weary when they roam B E Donʼt it make you want to go home B E Donʼt it make you want to go home
