Verse 1
D Bm
Running round in this new truck, bank lets me borrow from month to month,
G A
Running out of credit and find a little cash on the radio.
D Bm
Standing still they're blowing past, numbers on cars going NASCAR fast,
G A
What I wouldn't give for a slowdown, don't you know.
G A
Cause where I come from, only the horses run,
G A
When the day is done, we take it easy.
Chorus
D Bm
Meanwhile back at Mama's, the porch light's on come in if you wanna,
G
Supper's on the stove and beers in the fridge,
A
Red sun sinking out low on the ridge.
D
Game's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes,
Bm
whiskey keeps his whistle wet,
G
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss,
A
In a world gone crazy as this.
Interlude D |Bm |G |A ||

Well I found a girl and we don't fit in here.

One of these days gonna pack it up and leave here

Oh, I miss, yeah, a little dirt on the road, I miss corn growing in a row.

I miss those small town roots, walking around in muddy boots.

The sound of rain on an old tin roof, it's time we head on back.

Me and you back at Mama's

Yeah, me and you back at Mama's
