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

I'm not tryin' to put down no big cities
         G                D                C
But the things they write about us is just a bore

Lord take me and mine before that comes
