All I Can Do Is Write About It

Lynyrd Skynyrd · Gimme Back My Bullets [1976]

Well this life that I live

has took me everywhere

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

Well it's kind of like the sayin

that you heard so many times

"Well there just ain't no place like home".



Did you ever see a She-Gator

protect her youngin?

Or fish in a river swimmin' 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

Cuz when I can seen the concrete

a slowly creeping

Lord take me and mine before that comes



Do ya like to see a mountain stream a flowin?

Do ya like to see a youngin with his dog?

Did ya ever stop and think about

well, the air your breathing?

Well ya better listen to my song



And Lord I can't make any changes

All I can do is write em in a song

Cuz when I can see the concrete

a slowly creeping

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

You can take a boy out of ole' Dixieland

Lord, but you'll never take ole' Dixie from a boy



And Lord I can't make any changes

All I can do is write em in a song

Cuz when I can see the concrete

a slowly creeping

Lord take me and mine before that comes



Cuz I can see the concrete

a slowly creeping

Lord take me and mine before that comes...



RIP SAM I LOVE AND MISS YOU !!!!!!!
