[Verse 1]
G D
Well this life that I've lived
Em C
Has took me everywhere
G D C
There ain't no place I ain't never gone
G D
But it's kinda like the sayin'
Em C
That you heard so many times
G D C
Well there just ain't no place like home
[Instrumental]
|G D |C |
G D Em C
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her youngins
G D C
Or the fish in a river swimmin' free
G D Em C
Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina
G D C
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennesee
[Chorus]
G D C
And lord I can't make any changes
G D C
All I can do is write 'em in a song
G D Em C
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
G D C
Lord take me and mine before that comes
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G D C
Like to see the mountain stream a flowing
Do you like to see a youngin with his dog
G D Em C
Did you ever stop and think about well the air you're breathing
G D C
Well you better listen to my song
[Chorus]
G D C
And lord I can't make any changes
G D C
All I can do is write 'em in a song
G D Em C
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
G D C
Lord take me and mine before that comes

[Verse 3]
G D C
I'm not tryin' to put down no big city
But the things they write about us is just a bore
G D Em C
You can take a boy out of old Dixieland
G D C
But you'll never take Dixie from a boy
[Outro]
G D C
And lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
G D Em C
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
G D C
Lord take me and mine before that comes
G D Em C
Yes, well I can see the concrete a slowly creeping
G D C
Lord take me and mine before that comes.
