Em                                                                             C
You should~Rve seen the look on the face of the boss of the second shift
Em                                                            C
When I threw my hardhat at him and suggested the box where he could stick it
G                                                                    C
I walked downstairs and told~Rem I was leaving Bethlehem
               Em                               D
Like I~Rd seen The Savior had tears in my eyes
C                                            N.C.
Holding my hands up and shoutin A-men

Chorus
                           G                             D                             C
Cause there ain~Rt nobody gonna tell me what to do
              G                        D
I spent most of my life wrapped up tight
       C                               F             C              G
In somebody else~Rs hand-me-down old shoes
              D                                C
Starting today I~Rm someone I~Rd be proud to know
Am                                           C
You might tell me where to go
G                                                  D                      G
But there ain~Rt nobody gonna tell me what to do


Em                                                               C
We buried daddy just last week at the church that saved his soul
Em                                                                         C
Man he dreamed of pilot~Rs wings spent his whole life digging coal
G                                                                   C
I got a guitar up under my bed, but I~Rve been to scared to fly
            Em                                     D
That~Rs enough of that stuff I~Rm packing up my trunk
C
You can just kiss my butt good bye

I walked down stairs and told~Rem I was leaving Bethlehem
