Meanwhile Back At Mamas

[Intro]
C Am F G 2x

[Verse]
C
Running round in this new truck,
Am  
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,
Am
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,
    Am  
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,
Am
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 Am F G


[Verse]
       C  
Well I found a girl and

we don't fit in here.
Am  
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,
    Am  
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,
Am
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 Am F G 2x


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

little dirt on the road.
  Am
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.
Am
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,
    Am  
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,
Am  
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

Me and you back at Mama's.
