Well this life that I live took me everywhere
There ain't no place I ain't never gone
Well it's kind of like the sayin
That you heard so many times
Well there just ain't no place like home
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her youngin'
Or fish in a river swimmin' 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
'Cause if I can seen the concrete a slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
Like to see a mountain stream a flowin'
Do ya like to see a youngin' with his dog
Did ya ever stop and think about
Well the air your breathin'
Well ya better listen to my song
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
'Cause when I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
I'm not tryin' to put down no big city
But the things they write about us is just a bore
Well you can take a boy out of ole' Dixieland, Lord
But you'll never take ole' Dixie from a boy
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
'Cause when I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
If I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
