[Intro]
F Dm F Dm [Verse]
F Daddy worked hard,
momma worked harder Dm Propped up on pain pills and pride F They were just kids when
I came in this world Dm And I was a kid when they died F They'd fight about money They'd fight about fighting Dm They'd fight about nothin' at all F The car was still running
when the deputy found 'em Dm C At the Shell by the Gunbarrel Mall [Chorus]
C Gm Take me away from heeere Dm C No, I never belo-onged to this plaaace Gm Wish I could disappeeear off the
Dm C
edge of the ear-earth C Gm Take me away from heeere Dm No, I don't wanna fiiight for
C
the rest of myyyy life Gm Dm I ain't your volunteeeeer [Verse]
F I cried when I missed 'em Got lost in the system Dm Foster homes passed me around F The last one was nice But I ran away twice Dm And they gave up on tracking me down F I met a girl, said
she's from Chattanooga Dm But I think she grew up out West F Can't say I love her, but
she's someone to talk to Dm And I like the tattoo on her chest [Verse]
F I found us a spot in the
KOA campground Dm She says she sleeps good in the Scout F But I got in a fight with
the neighbor last night Dm And they'll probably be kicking us out F Some nights I dream that
I'm in Colorado Dm Working a cannabis farm F Some nights I dream that
the ghost of my momma Dm C Is holding me tight in her arms [Chorus]
C Gm7 Take me away from heeere Dm C No, I never belo-onged to this plaaace Gm Wish I could disappeeear off the
Dm C
edge of the ear-earth somedaaay C Gm Take me away from heeere Dm No, I don't wanna fiiight for
C
the rest of myyyy life Gm Dm I ain't your volunteeeeeeeeeer [Instrumental]
Am Bb F F Am Bb F C
C C [Chorus]
C Gm7 Take me away from heeere Dm Now she's licking the blaaade of a
C
ten dollar knife Gm Wish I could disappeeear off the
Dm C
edge of the ear-earth C Gm Take me away from heeere Dm I'm nobody's man and
C
she's nobody's wife [Outro]
C Gm Dm C I ain't your volunteeeeeeeeeer C Gm Dm C I ain't your volunteeeeeeeeeer C Gm Dm I ain't your volunteeeeeeeeeer
