Meanwhile Back At Mamas

[Intro]
C# A#m F# G# 2x

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

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

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

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


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


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

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

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

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

Daddy smokes cigarettes,
A#m
whiskey keeps his whistle wet,
F#  
Funny the things you

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


[Interlude]
C# A#m F# G#


[Verse]
       C#  
Well I found a girl and

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

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

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

pack it up and leave here


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

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

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

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

Daddy smokes cigarettes,
A#m
whiskey keeps his whistle wet,
F#  
Funny the things you

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


[Interlude]
C# A#m F# G# 2x


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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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