[Intro]D Bm G A x2[Verse]D BmRunning round in this new truck, bank let's me borrow from month to month,G ARunning out of credit and find a little cash on the radio.D BmStanding still they're blowing past, numbers on cars going NASCAR fast,G AWhat I wouldn't give for a slow down, don't you know.[Pre-Chorus]G ACause where I come from, only the horses run,G AWhen the day is done, we take it easy.[Chorus]D BmMeanwhile back at Mama's, the porch light's on come in if you wanna,G ASupper's on the stove and beers in the fridge, red sun sinking out low on the ridge.D BmGame's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes, whiskey keeps his whistle wet,G AFunny the things you thought you'd never miss, in a world gone crazy as this.[Instrumental]D Bm G A[Verse]D BmWell I found a girl and we don't fit in here. Talk about how hard it is to breathe here,G AEven with the windows down can't catch a southern breeze here, One of these days gonnapack it up and leave here[Chorus]D BmMeanwhile back at Mama's, the porch light's on come in if you wanna,G ASupper's on the stove and beers in the fridge, red sun sinking out low on the ridge.D BmGame's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes, whiskey keeps his whistle wet,G AFunny the things you thought you'd never miss, in a world gone crazy as this.[Instrumental]D Bm G A x2[Verse]D BmOh, I miss, yeah, a little dirt on the road. I miss corn growing in a row.G AI miss being somebody everybody knows, where everybody knows everybody.D BmI miss those small town roots. Walking around in muddy boots.G AThe sound of rain on an old tin roof, it's time we head on back.[Chorus]D Bm'Cause meanwhile back at Mama's, the For Sale sign's going up and I'm gonna,G ADump this truck and the little I got on a loan to own and a three-acre lot.D BmPut supper on the stove and beer in the fridge, going for broke and we're gonna be rich,G AWatch the sun setting on the ridge, baby, tell me what you think about this[Outro]D Bm G AMe and you back at Mama's.D Bm G AYeah, me and you back at Mama's.
