Intro: 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 place 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              (   )  (2x) 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             ( )  (4x) 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

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les réflexions d’un homme au sujet de son parcours de vie, marqués par des voyages dans divers endroits. Il ressent toutefois un attachement profond à son foyer, soulignant la beauté des paysages naturels et la simplicité de la vie rurale, en contraste avec les grandes villes. L’artiste exprime un sentiment de nostalgie et d'impuissance face aux changements inévitables de son environnement, illustrant la lutte entre le progrès urbain et la préservation de ses racines. Il souligne que, bien qu'il ne puisse pas changer la réalité, il peut l'immortaliser à travers sa musique.
