Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Well this life  that I've lived
 Has took  me everywhere
There  ain't no place I  ain't never gone
 But it's kinda  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 youngins
 Or the fish  in a river  swiwin free
 Did you ever  see the beauty  of the hills  of Carolina
 Or the sweetness  of the grass  in Tennesee
 And lord  I can't make  any changes
All  I can do is write  'em in a song
Cus  I can see the  concrete a slowly creepin
Lord  take me and mine  before that  comes
Like  to see the mountain  stream a flowing
 Do you like to see a youngin with his dog
Did  you ever stop and think  about well the  air you're breathing
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
 Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin
 Lord take me and mine before it comes
 (key change to A for piano solo)
(back  to G)
I'm  not tryin to put  down no big city
 But the things they write about us is just a bore
You  can take a boy out  of old  Dixieland
But  you'll never take Dixie  from a boy
And  lord I can't make  any changes
 All I can do is write 'em in a song
Cus  I can see the concrete  a slowly creepin
Lord  take me and mine  before that comes
 Yes well I  can see the concrete  a slowly creeping
Lord  take me and mine  before that comes.
