Don't It Make You Want to Go Home Songtext
von Glen Campbell

Don′t it make you want to go home, now?
Don't it make you want to go home?
All God′s children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you want to go home?

There's a sicklebill roost
On a telephone pole
When the Georgia sun goes down
Well, it′s been a long time
But I′m glad to say that I'm
Going back to my hometown

Going down to the Greyhound station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
If the good Lord′s willin'
And the creek don′t rise
By tomorrow, I'll be right there

Don′t it make you want to go home, now?
Don't it make you want to go home?
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don′t it make you want to go home? (Little turnaround)


(Scatting)

There′s a six-lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny-dipping as a child
And a drive-in show
Where the river used to flow
And the strawberries used to grow wild

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 rivers don′t flow
Like it did in my childhood days

Don't it make you want to go home, now?
Don′t it make you want to go home?
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you want to go home? (Kids, sing)

Don′t it make you want to go home, now?
Don′t it make you want to go home?
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don′t it make you want to go home?
Don't it make you want to go home?
