G C G
Well I remember back in my younger days of high school
D7
Back then baseball was my biggest dream
G C
But when I stood in line for my turn at bat
G
I found that wasn't where they wanted me at
A7 D7 G
I wound up totting the water for all the teams
C G
Well there ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm leaving
D7
There ain't nobody ever loved me very long
G C
No matter how much I miss our show
G
I get kicked around everywhere I go
A7 D7 G
There ain’t nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone
C G
So when my Uncle Sam called me to serve my country
D7
I stood up brave and smiled and packed my duds
G C
But to my surprise when I got there
G
They gave me the boots and cut my hair
A7 D7 G
I wound up scrubbing the floor and a peeling spuds
Repeat #2
C G
Well I met me a pretty little girl one day in Nashville
D7
I loved her more than all of my wildest dreams
G C
She took me for my money my house and my boat
G
And didn't even leave me a goodbye note
A7 D7 G
I gave it all up boy did she strip me clean
Repeat #2
C G
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone
