Verse 1
D
You were too bad for a little square town,
Cadd9 G/B
With your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground,
D Cadd9 G/B
Heard you cussed out mama, pushed daddy around before you tore off in his car
D Cadd9 G/B
Here you are running these dirty old streets, tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth
D Cadd9 G/B
Got the hood here snowed but you can’t fool me, we both know who you are
Chorus
D Cadd9 G/B
Homeboy, you’re gonna wish one day that you were sittin on a gate of a truck by the lake
D Cadd9 G/B
With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
D
Ain’t no shame in a blue collar forty;
Cadd9 G/B
Little house, little kid, little small town story
D Cadd9 G/B
If you dont ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother,
D Cadd9 G/B
Come on home, boy.
Verse 2
D Cadd9 G/B
I was haulin this hay to Uncle Joes farm, thought of us barefoot kids in the yard,
D Cadd9 G/B
Man, it seems we were just catchin snakes in the barn now you’re caught up in this mess
D
I could use a little help unloading these bales
Cadd9 G/B
I could keep you pretty busy with a hammer and nails
D Cadd9 G/B
Ain’t a glamorous life but it will keep you outta jail, not worry us all to death
Chorus
D Cadd9 G/B
Homeboy, you’re gonna wish one day that you were sittin on a gate of a truck by the lake
D Cadd9 G/B
With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
D
Ain’t no shame in a blue collar forty;
Cadd9 G/B
Little house, little kid, little small town story
D Cadd9 G/B
If you dont ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother,
D Cadd9 G/B
Come on home, boy.
D Cadd9 G/B D
Come on home, boy
Outro
D Cadd9 G
You can’t hold back the hands of time; Mamas goin grey, and so is Daddy’s mind
D Cadd9 G
I wish you’d come on back and make it all right before they’re called home, boy
D
Before they’re called home, boy
