All I Can Do Is Write About It
Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhereThere ain't no place I ain't never goneBut its kind of like the saying that you heard so many timesWell there just ain't no place like homeDid you ever see a she-alligator protect her youngOr a fish in a river swimming freeDid you ever see the beauty of the hills of CarolinaOr the sweetness of the grass in TennesseeAnd Lord I can't make any changesAll I can do is write 'em in a songI 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 dogDid you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathin'Well you better listen to my songAnd Lord I can't make any changesAll I can do is write 'em in a songI can see the concrete slowly creepin'Lord take me and mine before that comes
I'm not tryin' to put down no big citiesBut the things they write about us is just a boreWell you can take a boy out of ol' DixielandBut you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boyAnd Lord I can't make any changesAll I can do is write 'em in a songI 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
