Capo: 1st fret
[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 Dm C
Wish I could disappeeear off the edge of the ear-earth
C Gm
Take me away from heeere
Dm C
No, I don’t wanna fiiight for 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 Dm C
Wish I could disappeeear off the edge of the ear-earth somedaaay
C Gm
Take me away from heeere
Dm C
No, I don’t wanna fiiight for the rest of myyyy life
Gm Dm

Take me away from heeere
Dm C
Now she’s licking the blaaade of a ten dollar knife
Gm Dm C
Wish I could disappeeear off the edge of the ear-earth

Dm C
I’m nobody’s man and she’s nobody’s wife
[Outro]
