Should’ve seen the look on the face of the boss of the second shift
when I threw my hard had at him and suggested the box where he could stick it
I walked downstairs and told’em I was leaving Bethlehem
Like I had seen the savior, had tears in my eyes, holding my hands up and shouting Amen!
Chorus
Cause there ain’t nobody gonna tell me what to do
Spent most of my life a 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 and the Church To Save the Soul
Man he dreamed of pilot’s wings Spent his whole life digging coal
I got a guitar under my bed but I’ve been too scared to fly
But that’s enough of that stuff, I’m packing up my truck
They can just kiss my butt goodbye
Chorus
Cause there ain’t nobody gonna tell me what to do
Spent most of my life a 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
Repeat chorus twice
I walked downstairs and told’em I was leaving Bethlehem
