All I Can Do Is Write About It

Lyrics

Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere  
There ain't no place I ain't never gone  
But it's 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  
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 young gun 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
