All God's children get weary when they roam,
D G
don't it make you want to go home?
D G
Don't it make you want to go home?
G Am
Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole,
D G
when the Georgia sun goes down
Am
Well, it's been a long time but I'm glad to say, that I'm
D G
goin' back down to my home town

D G
Don't it make you want to go home?
Am
But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek,
D G
where I went skinny dippin' as a child
Am
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow,
D G
and the strawberries used to grow wild
Am
There's a drag strip down by the riverside,
D G
where my grandma's cow used to graze
Am
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow,
D G
like it did in my childhood days
G Am
Don't it make you want to go home now?
D G
Don't it make you want to go home?

All God's children get weary when they roam,
