[Intro]
E C#m A B 2x
[Verse]
E
Running round in this new truck,
C#m
bank let's me borrow from month to month,
A
Running out of credit
B
and find a little cash on the radio.
E
Standing still they're blowing past,
C#m
numbers on cars going nascar fast,
A
What I wouldn't give for a slowdown,
B
don't you know.
[Pre-Chorus]
A B
Cause where I come from, only the horses run,
A B~
When the day is done, we take it easy.
[Chorus]
E
Meanwhile back at Mama's,
C#m
the porch light's on come in if you wanna,
A
Supper's on the stove and beers in the fridge,
B
red sun sinking out low on the ridge.
E
Game's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes,
C#m
whiskey keeps his whistle wet,
A
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss,
B \
in a world gone crazy as this.
[Interlude]
E C#m A B
[Verse]
E
Well I found a girl and we don't fit in here.
C#m
Talk about how hard it is to breathe here,
A
Even with the windows down
can't catch a southern breeze here,
B~
One of these days gonna
pack it up and leave here
[Chorus]
E
Meanwhile back at Mama's,
C#m
the porch light's on come in if you wanna,
A
Supper's on the stove and beers in the fridge,
B
red sun sinking out low on the ridge.
E
Game's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes,
C#m
whiskey keeps his whistle wet,
A
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss,
B

[Interlude]
E C#m A B 2x
[Bridge]
E
Oh, I miss, yeah, a little dirt on the road.
C#m
I miss corn growing in a row.
A
I miss being somebody everybody knows,
B
where everybody knows everybody.
E
I miss those small town roots.
C#m
Walking around in muddy boots.
A
The sound of rain on an old tin roof,
B~
it's time we head on back.
[Chorus 2]
E
'Cause meanwhile back at Mama's,
C#m
the For Sale sign's going up and I'm gonna,
A
Dump this truck and the little
B
I got on a loan to own and a three-acre lot.
E
Put supper on the stove and beer in the fridge,
C#m
going for broke and we're gonna be rich,
A
Watch the sun setting on the ridge, baby,
B~
tell me what you think about this
[Outro]
E C#m A B
Me and you back at Mama's.
E C#m A B~
Yeah, me and you back at Mama's.
