All I Can Do Is Write About It

All I Can Do Is Write About It - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere

There ain't no place I ain't never gone

But it's 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 them 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 them 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
