Lyrics
Written by tony mullins, tim nichols and craig wiseman
Shoulda seen the look on the face of the boss of the second shift When I threw my hard hat at him An' suggested the box where he could stick it I walked downstairs an told 'em I was leavin' bethlehem Like I'd seen the saviour, had tears in my eyes Holdin' my hands up an' shoutin': "amen."
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes Startin' 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 to save his soul Man, he dreamed of pilot's wings: Spent his whole life diggin' 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 packin' up my truck: They can just kiss my butt goodbye
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes Startin' 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
Instrumental break
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do (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 Startin' 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
