Meanwhile Back At Mamas

[Intro]
D# Cm G# A# 2x

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

from month to month,
G#
Running out of credit
                  
  and find a little
             A#
cash on the radio.
D#  
Standing still they're

blowing past,
Cm
numbers on cars going nascar fast,
G#  
What I wouldn't

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


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


[Chorus]
D#
Meanwhile back at Mama's,
    Cm  
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,
Cm
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# Cm G# A#


[Verse]
       D#  
Well I found a girl and

we don't fit in here.
Cm  
Talk about how hard

it is to breathe here,
     G#
Even with the windows down

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

pack it up and leave here


[Chorus]
D#
Meanwhile back at Mama's,
    Cm  
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,
Cm
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# Cm G# A# 2x


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

little dirt on the road.
  Cm
I miss corn growing in a row.
  G#  
I miss being somebody

everybody knows,
       A#
where everybody knows everybody.
  D#
I miss those small town roots.
Cm
Walking around in muddy boots.
    G#  
The sound of rain

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


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

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

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

and beer in the fridge,
Cm  
going for broke and

we're gonna be rich,
G#  
Watch the sun setting

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

[Outro]
D#                         Cm  G#  A#
Me and you back at Mama's.
      D#                          Cm  G#    A#~
Yeah, me and you back at Mama's.
