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