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

But 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 seen the concrete a slowly creepin'

Lord take me and mine before that comes

Like to see a mountain stream a flowin'

Do ya like to see a youngin' with his dog

Did ya ever stop and think about

Well the air your breathin'

Well ya better listen to my song

And Lord I can't make any changes

All I can do is write 'em in a song

'Cause when I can see the concrete a 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 when I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'

Lord take me and mine before that comes

If I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'

Lord take me and mine before that comes
