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
I ain't your volunteeeeeeeeeer

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

Daddy worked hard, mama worked harder
Propped up on pain pills and pride
They were just kids wen I came in this world
And I was just a kid when they died
They'd fight about money, they'd fight about fightin'
They'd fight about nothing at all
The car was still running when the deputy found 'em
At the Shell by the gunbarrel mall
Take me away from here
No, I never belonged to this place
Wish I could disappear off the edge of the earth
Take me away from here
No, I don't want to fight for the rest of my life
I ain't your volunteer
I cried when I missed 'em, got lost in the system
Foster homes passed me around
The last one was nice but I ran away twice
And they gave up on tracking me down
I met a girl, says shes from Chattanooga
But I think she grew up out west
Can't say I love her but she's someone to talk to
And I like the tattoo on her chest
I found us a spot on the KOA campground
She says she sleeps good in the scowl
Well, I got in a fight with the neighbor last night
And they'll probably be kicking us out
And some nights I dream that I'm in Colorado
Working a cannabis farm
Some nights I dream that the ghost of my mama
Is holding me tight in her arms
Take me away from here
No, I never belonged to this place
Wish I could disappear off the edge of the earth someday
Take me away from here
No, I don't want to fight for the rest of my life
I ain't your volunteer
Take me away from here
Now she's liking the blade of a ten dollar knife
Wish I could disappear off the edge of the earth
Take me away from here
I'm nobody's man and she's nobody's wife
I ain't your volunteer
I ain't your volunteer
I ain't your volunteer
