Verse 1: 
           G              D  
Well this life that I've lived 
     Em           C  
Has took me everywhere 
  G                    D             C  
There ain't no place I ain't never gone 
 
          G              D  
But it's kinda like the sayin 
          Em            C  
That you heard so many times 
            G          D             C  
Well there just ain't no place like home 
 
G  D  C  

         G          D         Em          C  
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her youngins 
        G         D            C  
Or the fish in a river swiwin 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 Tennesee 
 
Chorus: 
     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  
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin 
  G                D              C  
Lord take me and mine before that comes 
 
G  D  C }x2
 
Verse 2: 
  G               D                 C  
Like to see the mountain stream a flowing 
Do you like to see a youngin with his dog 
  G                     D                Em             C  
Did you ever stop and think about well the air you're breathing 
  G                      D     C  
Well you better listen to my song 
 
Chorus: 
And lord I can't make any changes 
All I can do is write 'em in a song 
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin 
Lord take me and mine before it comes

(back to G) 
 
Verse 3: 
  G                D               C  
I'm not tryin to put down no big city 
But the things they write about us is just a bore 
  G                  D         Em      C  
You can take a boy out of old Dixieland 
  G                     D            C  
But you'll never take Dixie from a boy 
  
Outro: 
  G                D        C  
And lord I can't make any changes 
All I can do is write 'em in a song 
  G                 D          Em     C  
Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin 
  G                D                C  
Lord take me and mine before that comes   
 
          G             D          Am     C  
Yes well I can see the concrete a slowly creeping 
  G                D                C  
Lord take me and mine before that comes.
