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

D
Game's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes,
Bm

G
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss,

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