[Verse]
FDaddy worked hard, momma worked harder
DmPropped up on pain pills and pride
FThey were just kids when I came in this world
DmAnd I was a kid when they died
 
FThey'd fight about money
 
They'd fight about fighting
DmThey'd fight about nothin' at all
FThe car was still running when the deputy found 'em
Dm CAt the Shell by the Gunbarrel Mall
 
 
[Chorus]
C GmTake me away from heeere
Dm CNo, I never belo-onged to this plaaace
 
Gm Dm CWish I could disappeeear off the edge of the ear-earth
 
C GmTake me away from heeere
Dm CNo, I don't wanna fiiight for the rest of myyyy life
 
Gm DmI ain't your volunteeeeer
 
 
[Verse]
FI cried when I missed 'em
 
Got lost in the system
DmFoster homes passed me around
FThe last one was nice
 
But I ran away twice
DmAnd they gave up on tracking me down
 
FI met a girl, said she's from Chattanooga
DmBut I think she grew up out West
FCan't say I love her, but she's someone to talk to
DmAnd I like the tattoo on her chest
 
 
[Verse]
FI found us a spot in the KOA campground
DmShe says she sleeps good in the Scout
FBut I got in a fight with the neighbor last night
DmAnd they'll probably be kicking us out
 
FSome nights I dream that I'm in Colorado
DmWorking a cannabis farm
FSome nights I dream that the ghost of my momma
Dm CIs holding me tight in her arms
 
 
[Chorus]
C Gm7Take me away from heeere
Dm CNo, I never belo-onged to this plaaace
 
Gm Dm CWish I could disappeeear off the edge of the ear-earth somedaaay
 
C GmTake me away from heeere
