Written by:  Tony Mullins, Tim Nichols, Craig Wiseman
Transcribed by: Brandon Wylie  coyotelineman@bellsouth.net
Intro:  G   D   C
Em                                             C
You should�ve 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�em I was leaving Bethlehem
        Em                    D
Like I�d 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�t 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�s hand-me-down old shoes
         D                C   
Starting today I�m someone I�d be proud to know
Am                         C
You might tell me where to go 
G                            D               G
But there ain�t 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�s wings spent his whole life digging coal
G                                        C
I got a guitar up under my bed, but I�ve been to scared to fly
       Em                        D
That�s enough of that stuff I�m packing up my trunk
C
You can just kiss my butt good bye 
Chorus 
Bridge:  Em   C   Em   C   D   
Chorus
G                                       C
I walked down stairs and told�em I was leaving Bethlehem
