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
