Don’t It Make You Wanna Go Home
Recorded by Bobby Bare written by Joe South
G Am
Don't it make you want to go home now
D7 G
Don't it make you want to go home
Am
All God's children get weary when they roam
D7 G
Don't it make you want to go home
D7 G
Don't it make you want to go home
C
Oh the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole
D7 G
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well it's been a long time
C D7 G
But I'm glad that I'm going back to my home town
C
Going down to the Greyhound station
D7 G
Gonna buy me a one way fare
C
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise
D7 G
By tomorrow I'm gonna be there
Repeat #1
C
But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek
D7 G
Where I went skinny dipping as a child
C
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow
D7 G
And the strawberries used to grow wild
C
There's a drag strip down by the riverside
D7 G
Where my grandma's cow used to graze
C
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
D7 G
Like it did in my childhood days
Repeat #1
