All I Can Do Is Write About It

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 see the concrete, slowly creepin'
Lord, take me and mine before that comes

I'd like to see a mountain stream flowin'
Do you like to see a youngin' with his dog?
Did you ever stop and think about, well, the air you're 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
'Cause, I can see the concrete 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, I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord, take me and mine before that comes

I say, I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord, take me and mine before that comes
