《Nobody Gonna Tell Me What To Do (Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] 作曲: Mullins, Nichols, Wiseman

[00:00:14] Shoulda seen the look on the face of the boss of the second shift,

[00:00:20] When I threw my hard hat at him,

[00:00:23] An' suggested the box where he could stick it.

[00:00:27] I walked downstairs an told 'em I was leavin' Bethlehem,

[00:00:33] Like I'd seen the Saviour, had tears in my eyes,

[00:00:36] Holdin' my hands up an' shoutin': "Amen."

[00:00:40] 'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.

[00:00:46] I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight,

[00:00:49] In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes.

[00:00:54] Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know:

[00:01:00] You might tell me where to go,

[00:01:06] But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.

[00:01:23] We buried Daddy just like week at the church to save his soul.

[00:01:30] Man, he dreamed of pilot's wings:

[00:01:32] Spent his whole life diggin' coal.

[00:01:36] I got a guitar under my bed, but I've been too scared to fly.

[00:01:42] But that's enough of that stuff, I'm packin' up my truck:

[00:01:46] They can just kiss my butt goodbye.

[00:01:49] 'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.

[00:01:55] I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight,

[00:01:59] In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes.

[00:02:03] Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know:

[00:02:10] You might tell me where to go,

[00:02:15] But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.

[00:02:19] Instrumental Break.

[00:02:32] 'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.

[00:02:36] (Ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.)

[00:02:39] I spent most of my life wrapped up tight,

[00:02:42] In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes.

[00:02:46] Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know:

[00:02:53] You might tell me where to go,

[00:02:58] But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.

[00:03:16] I walked downstairs an told 'em I was leavin' Bethlehem.
