All I Can Do is Write About It

[Verse 1] 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 place 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 [Chorus] And Lord I can't make any changes All I can do is write 'em in a song I can see the concrete slowly creeping Lord take me and mine before that comes [Verse 2] Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowing Do you like to see a youngun with his dog Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathing Well you better listen to my song [Chorus] [Verse 3] I'm not trying 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 [Outro] And Lord I can't make any changes All I can do is write 'em in a song I can see the concrete slowly creeping Lord take me and mine before that comes Because I can see the concrete slowly creeping Lord take me and mine before that comes
