Oh, the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole,
         D                G
when the Georgia sun goes down
                                    Am
Well, it's been a long time but I'm glad to say, that I'm

                            Am

      D                G
gonna buy me a one way fare
                          Am

But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek,
        D                        G
where I went skinny dippin' as a child
                              Am
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow,
        D                         G
and the strawberries used to grow wild
                                 Am
There's a drag strip down by the riverside,
         D                     G
where my grandma's cow used to graze
                                 Am
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow,
        D                   G
like it did in my childhood days

G                            Am
