(LYNYRD  SKYNYRD)

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 
 
 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 
 
 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
