All I Can Do Is Write About It [acoustic Version] Lyrics - All Time Greatest Hits - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Well, this life that I've live 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 

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 

'Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin' 

Lord, take me and mine before that comes 

Would you like to see a mountain stream a-flowin'? 

Would you like to see a youngin' 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 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 

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 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
