Intro 2x: G D Em C 

               G                 D       Em                   C
Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere
     G                     D                   C
There ain't no place I ain't never gone
           G                      D                   Em                   C
But its kind of like the saying that you heard so many times
                  G         D                   C        G D Em C
Well there just ain't no place like home
               G          D               Em          C
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young
        G           D                     C
Or a fish in a river swimming 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
        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
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
G                           D                       C              
Lord take me and mine before that comes

             G                 D                          C
Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowin'
             G                 D                     C
Do you like to see a youngun with his dog
             G                   D                        Em              C
Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathin'
               G              D          C
Well you better listen to my song

All I can do is write 'em in a song
G                    D         Em       C
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
G                          D                       C

G                     D                         C

             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
                 G                  D                  C
But you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boy

          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
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'

Lord take me and mine before that comes

            G                   D       Em         C
'Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
 G                          D                        C
Lord take me and mine before that comes
