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

D#
Supper's on the stove and beers in the fridge,

Game's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes,

D#
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss,

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