When I threw my hard hat at him, An' suggested the box where he could stick it.
[G]I walked downstairs an told 'em I was l[C]eavin' Bethlehem,
Like I'd s[Em7]een the Saviour, had[D/F#] tears in my eyes,
[Cadd9]Holdin' my hands up an' shoutin', "Amen!"
(chorus)
'Cause there [G]ain't nobody gonna[D/F#] tell me what to[C] do.
I spent m[G]ost of my life [D/F#]a-wrapped up tight,
In som[C]ebody else's [Bb]hand-me-[Am]down old [G]shoes.
Startin' t[D/F#]oday, I'm someone [Em]I'd be proud to[Cadd9] know,

But there a[G]in't nobody gonna t[D]ell me what to d[G]o.[-] [D] [-] [Cadd9]
(verse 2)
We buried Daddy just like week at the church that saved 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.
That's enough of that stuff, I'm packin' up my truck,
They can just kiss my butt goodbye.
(chorus)
'Cause there [G]ain't nobody gonna[D/F#] tell me what to[C] do.
I spent m[G]ost of my life [D/F#]a-wrapped up tight,
In som[C]ebody else's [Bb]hand-me-[Am]down old [G]shoes.
Startin' t[D/F#]oday, I'm someone [Em]I'd be proud to[Cadd9] know:
[Am]You might [G/B]tell me where to [C]go,
But there ain[G]'t nobody gonna t[D]ell me what t[Em]o do.
