Lynyrd Skynyrd - All I Can Do Is Write About It Lyrics
Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere
There ain't no place I ain't never gone
But its kind of like the saying that you heard so many times
Well there just ain't no plae like home
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young
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
I can see the concrete 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 youngun with his dog
Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathin'
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
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
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
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

2020 and I see
One of the greatest lyrical songs ever written between the 15th-16th-17th-18th-19th-20th and honestly still a great song 21st century since January 1st 2001. Although THIS IS FACTORING HIM AS POSSIBLY BIPOLAR THO... Which Bipolar is a hereditary serious mental illness derived from Neanderthal. Ancient Greeks the factual most intelligent civilization of all time believed bipolar to be of the divine "The divine." The salt of the earth basically a person or group of people of great kindness, reliability, or honesty.. Britons and USA citizens and Germans and such alike intellectually morally and emotionally pay homage to. The Ancient Greeks make intellectuals since factually appear dumb because they literally are in comparison indisputable and the ancient greeks are far from wrong factually the hereditary illness of bipolar such Caucasoid Homosapiens have the most astonishing list of homosapiens ever and of all time.
billy p sure can play that damn piano
Rvz, was a profit we didn't know it but listen to the words.....
2020 mofreakas happy Birthday ronnie
Imagine if Billy Powell wasn’t their roadie. That would suck. He was and now we get to listen to this over and over 🙏 🎹🎹🎹🎹
2020 and go figure better then garbage on radio now
One of Skynyrd best tunes...
The hate groups have destroyed the true meaning of the flag, As long as a Southern breeze blows I will fly this flag in honor of my ancestors, God Bless Dixie
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
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
I can see the concrete 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
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
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
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
Why is it that we never hear a band's greatest songs on the radio???
Shame we have to be divided
Love this flag cause it means a lot for me and for my folks here. My geat grandfather was a Kaiserjeger who fought during WW1 agaist the italian invaders here in north Italy, among the alps to protect his land and his culture, and while I listen to this song I can alway immagine him singing it. Long life to Welschtirol and to C.S.A., linked by a similar history, that still live inside our heart.
Fuk anyone that has something to say bout that flag go somewhere else we probably dont like ur shiz either 😊
True southern ballad.
I hear so many echos of Florida and it’s Dying. Had a friend of mine send me a pic the other day . Her grandson , boy shot a deer. I’ve moved from my Home State of Fla., but looking at it and it’s a good buck ., but where I live we have limits. Looked up Florida’s deer laws. Good god you can shoot a buck with a 10 inch spread, shoot a swimming fawn. And take 5 deer two antlers the rest none. Wow Disney wants that state
twice on suggested?
hmm.
wonder if im supposed to listen
home is in your heart
no matter where you are
It's not about the flag its about the stupid people who think that everything is offence and the north doesn't care.
Thats not true my friend
Love this song. Love this Band. 💙💙💙💙
Lynyrd Skynyrd truly recorded some great songs but the best way to describe this one is with the word beautiful.
The best song they ever did. One that stands out from so many great ones
LONG LIVE THE SOUTH
Do you have Lynyrd Skynyrd tattooed on your arm I do
Fuck off!
The only thing you can do , write about it
Am I the only one that loves the piano? I play a banjo pretty well. I feel like a piano and banjo are the same
Conept your cool dude only thang i hate is hate itself
Grew up on Lynyrd Skynyrd and now being 30 I actually understand the songs greatest band of all
My family both sides fought for the Minnesota calvary brigades in the war. Wether you came from Virginia or New York if you got character and know how to live I have respect for you. God bless ya’ll have a good one. -Midwesterners
Just a shame lincoln can not see the state of his union now,then maybe he would have left the south alone!
My favorite L.S. song! So much truth to it. Ronnie was the best. Thank God we have his songs to listen to.
"In my yard, you will see a Confederate flag, & it doesn’t stand for hate It lets ever one know I haven’t trusted some of my Godless so-called government leaders in the past, so do not tell me it offends you, because then you will have offended me. Why because this tells me you didn’t care what any Godless so-called government leaders have done in the past.
We have fast become a Godless country. we have a lot worst thing to worry about then making all this fuss over a battle flag, that one bad group used, along with a cross to put fear into people. The Confederate Flag never flew over a slave ship or a slave plantation, but the USA flag did fly over them. You want to take the USA flag down too? The Klan also burned crosses in front of Black, Catholic, Jew & other homes; so, do you also want to take all the crosses down too? Why then do you people want to mess with the Confederate flag.
“AT THIS TIME, I DO NOT HAVE ANY FLAGS IN MY YARD BECAUSE SOME LOWLIFE SCUM CAME DURNING THE NIGHT & TOOK ALL 3 OF THEM. IF I AM UP THE NEXT TIME THE LOWLIFE SCUM COME IN MY YARD AT NIGHT, THEM OR ME MAY NOT WALK OUT”.
Kenneth R Calfo Sr Fuck u and your bitch ass flag of surrender. God is a lie.
Those lyrics! Long live the Skynyrd. I'm a Yankee but I lived in the South for almost a decade, it will always feel home to me just as much as my northern hometown.
My dear friend Kerry Joe my heart and soul hurts so bad to know you have left us as we lay you to rest today you are greatly missed I will always remember you.
Verse visa
Write about the city?People are shitty in the country too.People from po-dunk came to a city to provide.Stayed country raised kids country in the city.As a city kid on the grid wanting to see God's country,its pretty,but there are shitfaces there too.
"The things they write about us is a bore" Our Rebel Flag portrays the cross of St. Andrew who was the 1st. follower of Jesus. The Holy cross on top of our flag staff indicates that Southerners are Christian. The bird of prey on top of the stars & stripes indicates a Yankee Empire. We surrendered to that "Empire" and forgave our northern brothers and have fought in every conflict on their side since 1865. One would think they would also be forgiving and show us some respect for our fallen. Not so!
This song will just about bring a tear to your eye
almost but "The Rose of Alabama" and the Bonnie Blue Flag song will bring tears every time.
SOUTHERN KATABOIS76
Bittersweet
Been a while sence I heard this like about 25 plus years . Lyrics brought back so many memories got tears in my eyes damn great song damn great band wish ronnie van zant was still with us
Where we remain proud of our European Identity
Im proud of it. You should be too. @Concept
The Confederate flag is the route the heart in the soul of the American defiance against tyranny.
Happy 4th
Who is listening in 2019
Who cares
I'm flat tired and better get some rest I guess plane to see the mind is needing some
"You can take a boy out of old Dixie land but you'll never take old Dixie from a boy!"

I just heard BlackBerry Smoke play this at The Shed in Maryville Tennessee. They are an amazing band themselves. Charlie Starr is incredible. I wouldn't give him any credit if he didn't deserve it because this is my Favorite Skynyrd tune . They tear it up.
Im a huge BlackBerry smoke fan!!Charlie,in fact,is awesome,just like everybody in the band!! And this conection with lynyrd is incredible...two of my favorites bands ever! !
I was raised in a busy suburb but still identify with this thanks to going to my grandparents farm in the Virginia mountains growing up
I'm an America-loving hard-working beautiful-girl-of-my-dreams loving 20 year old 6 foot 3 220 pound American boy currently in the US Navy from the Democratic State of Massachusetts, where the foundation of the great land I live in was incorporated many years ago by men exactly like me who had the same exact type of blue collar heart as mine, the type of heart that gives someone the true spirit to practice their liberty for the price of hard labor or to fight others for it if we have to. And those men just like me fought to protect what was there's and what is mine today, this beautiful country we live in with the Hills of Carolina and the Other great things this American Life of mine has to offer (what this song explains). All because we got together and knew what was right and followed our American beliefs until we found happiness here. God Bless America and those who protect It, seriously, for what this song preaches Is the beauty of life found in America that can also be found in heaven! (deep as FUCK) PS- Rest in Peace Ronnie Van z
Don't get any better than this
Absolutely love this song and band ❤❤❤ !
My funeral song be gone before the world is covered in concrete amen

A band of many hits but this is one of my favs
My best friend David William Scheczwyk died on 3-5-06 riding his snowmobile, he hit a dock that shouldn't have still been on the lakes, but this was his favorite song ever and I'll never forget, my best friend 3-5-06, I love you bro, wish you were still here.......
I have no problem with a flag
This the song has been one of mine and my husband's favorites for a long time that it really touches our hearts now because Friday we lost our home to a fire lost everything we owned well we were 18 hundred miles away on vacation... Those words touch her heart there's just no place like home especially when we have no home to come back to...
Love it, Don't care who Don't !
Nothing better than Ronnie telling the truth
long live dixieland
simplememte una maravilla southern rock forever
Is this Ronnie singing or is it that tribute act with his brother?
Sing it Ronnie
I've lived now in big city, country, and suburb. I guess the city is where the bad decisions are made to rewrite who and what we're about, but in terms of decimation of our land, the most complete destruction comes by way of suburban sprawl. Which is now virtually everywhere. https://youtu.be/uzDiEQq8pRU
Opening line hit the nail on the head
One of the most underrated song of all time
One of the best songs ever wrote
Greatest band to Grace our planet
Kim keel They have my heart and my soul.
