All I Can Do is Write About It

This life that I lived has took me everywhere
There ain't no place I ain't never gone
Well it's kind of like the sayin'
That you heard so many times
There just ain't no place like home

Well have you ever seen a she-gator protect her youngin's
Or fish in a river swimmin' free
Have you ever seen 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
And I can see the concreter slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

Now I ain't tryin' to put down no big city
But the things they write about us suggest a pull
Well you can take a boy out of the 'ol heartland, Lord
But you'll never take a heart from a boy

And Lord I can't make any changes
Well all I can do is write 'em in a song
And I can see the concreter slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

Well I can see the concreter slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes, yeah
