Don't It Make You Want to go Home
(Royal)
OPENER
Grand Square
Whoa the whippoorwill roost on the telephone pole
And the Georgia sun goes down
Well it's been a log time - But I'm glad to sy that I'm
Going back down to my home town - Allemande and Weave
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
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru
Your Corner Do Sa Do
Swing Thru and then the Boys Run Right
Bend the Line and do a Right and Left Thru
Flutterwheel - Slide Thru
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home
MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
Going down to the Greyhound Station
Gonna buy me a one way fare
If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise
By tomorrow I'll be right there - Allemande and Weave
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
CLOSER
Grand Square
But 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 meadow used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild - Allemande and Weave
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

ADDITIONAL LYRICS
There's a dragstrip down by the riverside
Where my grandma's cows used to graze
Now the grass don't grow
and the river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days
