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 younguns
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
Cuz I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
Like to see a mountain stream a-flowing
Do you like to see a youngun 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
Cuz 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 ol' Dixieland, Lord
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
Cuz I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
I said, I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
