All I Can Do Is Write About It Lynyrd Skynyrd

(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 it's 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'un's
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
Yes, but I can see the concrete a 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 young gun 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
Yes, but I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

I'm not tryin' to put down no big city
But the things they write about us is just a bore
Well you can take a boy out of ol' Dixieland Lord
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
Yes, but I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
'Cause I can see the concrete a slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
