Don’t It Make You Want To Go Home Lyrics by Valerie June

Under Cover

[Chorus]
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
Don't it make you wanna go home?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
[Verse 1]
Woah, the whippoorwill roost on the telephone pole
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well, it's been a long time (Been a long time)
But I'm glad to say that I'm
I'm goin' back down to my hometown
[Pre-Chorus]
Goin' down to the Greyhound station
Gonna buy me a one-way fare
Good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise
By tomorrow, I'll be right there
[Chorus]
Don't it make you wanna go home, now?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
All God's children get wеary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go homе?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
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
[Interlude]
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 (The grass don't grow)
And that Mississippi river don't flow (Mississippi don't flow)
Like it did in my childhood days
[Chorus]
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?
Wanna see my family
(Don't it make you wanna go home?)
(Don't it make you wanna go home?)
I wanna see my friends
(Don't it make you wanna go home?)
(Don't it make you wanna go home?)
[Outro]
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 some hot jam
Along a long dirt road with a clear sky
Give me that muddy road with some black guys
Oh, sweet Magnolias [3:50?]
Gonna be so happy with everything
Take me on home, home, home, home
