About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4.. ============================================================ ==========================================================th ere's two little boys playing & one says "if I owned the world, each man would have a million dollars" & one says "if I owned the world-each man would have the chance to save the world once in his lifetime"... -Bob Dylan======================================================= ============================================================ ============================================================ == Well this life that I've led has took me everywhere. There ain't no place I ain't never gone. But it's kind of like the saying that you've 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 these 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'n with his dog? Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air you're breathin'? Well you better listen to my song.And Lord I cant make these 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.Im not tryin' to put down no big cities. But the things they write about us are just a bore. Well you can take a boy out of ol' Dixie land, but you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boy.And Lord I can't make these 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.
