[Verse 1]
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
[Instrumental]
| G D | C
[Verse 2]
G D Em C
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her younguns
G D C
Or fish in a river swimmin' 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 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
[Instrumental]
| G D | C |
| G D | C |
[Verse 3]
G D C
Like to see a mountain stream a-flowing
G D C
Do you like to see a youngun 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
[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
[Piano Solo] (key change to A)
| A E | D | x4
[Verse 4] (back to G)
G D C
I'm not tryin' to put down no big city
G D C
But the things they write about us is just a bore
G D Em C
Well, you can take a boy out of ol' Dixieland, Lord
G D C
But you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boy
[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
G D Em C
I said, I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
G D Em
Lord take me and mine before that comes
