Lyrics

[Intro]
2, 3, 4
[Verse 1]
Well this life that I've lead
Has took me everywhere
There ain't no place I ain't never gone
But it's kinda like the sayin'
That you heard so many times
Well there just ain't no place like home
[Verse 2]
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her youngs?
Or a fish in a river swimming free?
Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina?
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee?
[Chorus]
And lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
'Cause what I can see the concrete slowly creeping
Lord take me and mine before that comes
[Verse 3]
Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowing?
Do you like to see a young gun with his dog?
Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air you're breathing?
Well you better listen to my song
[Chorus]
And lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
'Cause what i can see the concrete slowly creeping
Lord take me and mine before that comes
[Verse 4]
I'm not trying to put down no big cities
But the things they write about us is just a bore
Well you can take a boy out ol' Dixieland
Lord but you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boy
[Chorus]
And lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
Cause what I can see the concrete slowly creeping
Lord take me and mine before that comes
As I can see the concrete slowly creeping
Lord take me and mine before that comes
