Lyric All I Can Do Is Write About It

(Allen Collins -- Ronnie VanZant)

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 plae 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
