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 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
'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
