All I Can Do Is Write About It

Intro: 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             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              (   )  (2x) Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowin’             Do you like to see a youngun 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             ( )  (4x) 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
