(G)
G D C (spoken "2-3-4")
G D Em C, G D C
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
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 swiwin 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
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
G D C
G D C
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
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)
A E D (played 4x)
(back to G)
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
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 Am C
Yes well I can see the concrete a slowly creeping
G D C
Lord take me and mine before that comes.
