Bobby Bare - Don't It Make You Want To Go Home Lyrics

A true country artist !!

This is kind of country music I love. Not the Nashville junk today. Oh well, life moves on.

Who's listening 1,1 1920?

GREW UP WITH MUSIC.ITS GREAT.THESE WERE ENTERTAINERS.

brings a tear to my eye. great song

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?
Whoa, the whippoorwill roost on the telephone pole
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well, it's been a long time
But I'm glad to say that I'm
Goin' back down to my home town
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'm gonna be right there
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?
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 meadow used to grow
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 river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days
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?
Tell me, don't it make you wanna go home?
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 God, how I wanna go home
Yeah
Don't it make you wanna go home, now?
Tell me, don't it make you wanna go home?
All God's children get weary when they roam, now
Don't it make you wanna go home?
I wanna know
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?
Whoa
Don't it make you wanna go home, now?
Don't it make you wanna go home?

Love it by Bobby Bare.
Love it by Joe South.
I wanna go home to my childhood.

Outstanding recording and the accompanying video .

Anybody notice how George Strait and Bobby Bare have the same style? Almost identical.

I love this song. I was very very  young when it came out. He's not the original singer but, it aint to bad

Wow, a wonderful country song. No cussing, complaining or fears. Makes you wanna go home.

+mrbeaverstate Yeah, Joe South's songs tended to be like that.

+mrbeaverstate I was reading more comments and saw that Joe had passed.  Not being in Atlanta for decades I didn't  know that.  He was one fine guy and was so proud of Brook Benton's version the night we took the 45 it to him.

Ray Wright :-!

Listening to the great Bare make me don't wanna go home!

A Real Legend.

Beautiful Song!!

An old friend of mine once told me that Bobby Bare was the best friend a good song could have. I agree with him. Joe South was as good a song writer as there was and he sure would have been proud of this version.

joe had more than 40 years to be proud of that version...

Makes me wannta go back to my Gaspe home.

had never heard the bobby bare version of this until now.   it's ok,but i think the joe south original is the best.

WELL DONE GREAT SONG
'I RECORDED IT BACK IN 1975
IT REMINDED ME OF MY HOME IN KENTUCKY .

Both versions are great...this seems to be one of those songs that you can't go wrong with, no matter who covers it.

R.I.P. Joe South

GOOD MUSIC--THANK YOU

@peeweelee1 Thanks

Love this song. Joe South did the original. But this is great and the video is fantastic.
