            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

Did you ever see a she-gator
protect her younguns
Or fish in a river swimmin' free
Did you ever see the beauty of
the hills of Carolina
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee

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
Cuz I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
 G                D                C
Lord take me and mine before that comes

Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowing
Do you like to see a youngun with his dog
Did you ever stop to think about,
well, the air your breathing
Well you better listen to my song

Chorus:
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creeping
Lord take me and mine before that comes

I'm not trying 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 creeping
Lord take me and mine before that comes
Because I can see the concrete slowly creeping
Lord take me and mine before that comes
