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

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