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

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