Meanwhile Back At Mamas

[Intro]
F# D#m B C# 2x

[Verse]
F#
Running round in this new truck,
D#m  
bank let's me borrow

from month to month,
B
Running out of credit
                  
  and find a little
             C#
cash on the radio.
F#  
Standing still they're

blowing past,
D#m
numbers on cars going nascar fast,
B  
What I wouldn't

give for a slowdown,
C#
don't you know.


[Pre-Chorus]
            B           
  Cause where I come from,
          C#
only the horses run,
         B           
  When the day is done,
              C#~
we take it easy.


[Chorus]
F#
Meanwhile back at Mama's,
    D#m  
the porch light's on

come in if you wanna,
B  
Supper's on the stove

and beers in the fridge,
C#  
red sun sinking out

low on the ridge.
F#  
Game's on the tube and

Daddy smokes cigarettes,
D#m
whiskey keeps his whistle wet,
B  
Funny the things you

thought you'd never miss,
     C#                        \
in a world gone crazy as this.


[Interlude]
F# D#m B C#


[Verse]
       F#  
Well I found a girl and

we don't fit in here.
D#m  
Talk about how hard

it is to breathe here,
     B
Even with the windows down

can't catch a southern breeze here,
  C#~
One of these days gonna

pack it up and leave here


[Chorus]
F#
Meanwhile back at Mama's,
    D#m  
the porch light's on

come in if you wanna,
B  
Supper's on the stove

and beers in the fridge,
C#  
red sun sinking out

low on the ridge.
F#  
Game's on the tube and

Daddy smokes cigarettes,
D#m
whiskey keeps his whistle wet,
B  
Funny the things you

thought you'd never miss,
     C#
in a world gone crazy as this.


[Interlude]
F# D#m B C# 2x


[Bridge]
      F#  
Oh, I miss, yeah, a

little dirt on the road.
  D#m
I miss corn growing in a row.
  B  
I miss being somebody

everybody knows,
       C#
where everybody knows everybody.
  F#
I miss those small town roots.
D#m
Walking around in muddy boots.
    B  
The sound of rain

on an old tin roof,
       C#~
it's time we head on back.


[Chorus 2]
       F#
'Cause meanwhile back at Mama's,
    D#m  
the For Sale sign's

going up and I'm gonna,
B
Dump this truck and the little
           C#  
I got on a loan to own

and a three-acre lot.
    F#  
Put supper on the stove

and beer in the fridge,
D#m  
going for broke and

we're gonna be rich,
B  
Watch the sun setting

on the ridge, baby,
  C#~
tell me what you think about this

[Outro]
F#                         D#m  B  C#
Me and you back at Mama's.
      F#                          D#m  B    C#~
Yeah, me and you back at Mama's.
