Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

You should’ve seen the look on the face of the boss of the second shift

When I threw my hardhat at him and suggested the box where he could stick it

I walked downstairs and told’em I was leaving Bethlehem

 Like I’d seen The Savior had tears in my eyes

Holding my hands up and shoutin A-men

Chorus

Cause there ain’t nobody gonna tell me what to do

 I spent most of my life wrapped up tight

 In somebody else’s hand-me-down old shoes

 Starting today I’m someone I’d be proud to know

You might tell me where to go

But there ain’t nobody gonna tell me what to do

We buried daddy just last week at the church that saved his soul

Man he dreamed of pilot’s wings spent his whole life digging coal

I got a guitar up under my bed, but I’ve been to scared to fly

 That’s enough of that stuff I’m packing up my trunk

You can just kiss my butt good bye

Chorus

Bridge
