,
Well this life that I've lived
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
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her youngins
Or the fish in a river swiwin free
Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennesee
And lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin
Lord take me and mine before that comes
Like to see the mountain stream a flowing
Do you like to see a youngin with his dog
Did you ever stop and think about well the air you're breathing
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
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin
Lord take me and mine before it comes
(key change to A for piano solo)
(played 4x)
(back to G)
I'm not tryin to put down no big city
But the things they write about us is just a bore
You can take a boy out of old Dixieland
But you'll never take Dixie from a boy
And lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin
Lord take me and mine before that comes
Yes well I can see the concrete a slowly creeping
Lord take me and mine before that comes.
