All I Can Do is Write About It

This life that I live has took me everywhere

There ain't no place I ain't ever gone

Well it's kinda like the sayin'

You heard so many times

"There just ain't no place like home"

Well, have you ever seen a she-gator protect her youngins'

Or a 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 a-write 'em in a song

And I can see the concrete a-slowly creepin'

Lord, take me and mine before that comes, uh-huh, yeah

I ain't tryin' to put down no big city

But the things they write about us is just a bore

Well you can take a boy out of the ole heartland, Lord

But you'll never take the heart from a boy

And, Lord, I can't make any changes

Well, all I can do is a-write 'em in a song

And I can see the concrete a-slowly creepin'

Lord, take me and mine before that comes

Well I can see the concrete a-slowly creepin'

Lord take me and mine before that comes, oh no, yeah
