Well this life that I`ve lead has took me everywhere
There ain`t no place I ain`t never gone
But its kind of like the saying that you heard so many times
Well there just ain`t no plae like home
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young
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
And Lord I can`t make any changes
All I can do is write `em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin`
Lord take me and mine before that comes
Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowin`
Do you like to see a youngun with his dog
Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathin`
Well you better listen to my song
And Lord I can`t make any changes
All I can do is write `em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin`
Lord take me and mine before that comes
I`m not tryin` to put down no big cities
But the things they write about us is just a bore
Well you can take a boy out of ol` Dixieland
But you`ll never take ol` Dixie from a boy
And Lord I can`t make any changes
All I can do is write `em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin`
Lord take me and mine before that comes
`Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin`
Lord take me and mine before that comes
