You  should’ve seen the look on the face of the boss  of the second shift
When  I threw my hardhat at him and suggested  the box where he could stick it
I  walked downstairs and told’em I was leaving  Bethlehem
 Like I’d  seen The Savior had tears  in my eyes
Holding  my hands up and  shoutin A-men
Cause  there 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
 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 at the church  that saved his soul
Man  he dreamed of pilot’s wings spent his whole  life digging coal
I  got a guitar up under my bed, but I’ve been  to scared to fly
 That’s enough  of that stuff I’m packing  up my trunk
You  can just kiss my butt good bye
I  walked down stairs and told’em I was leaving  Bethlehem
