Verse 1:
A5
You were too bad for a little square town
G Dsus2
with your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground
A5
Heard you cussed out mamma, pushed daddy around
G Dsus2
You tore off in his car
A5
Here you are runnin' these dirty old streets,.-
G Dsus2
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth
A5 G Dsus2
Got the hood here snow, but you cant fool me, we both know who you are
Chorus:
A5 G Dsus2
Homeboy your gonna wish one day you were sittin' on the gate
of a truck by the lake
A5 G Dsus2
with your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other

Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty, little house little kids
little small town story

Man it seems we were just catchin' snakes in the barn

now you're caught up in this mess
A5
I can use a little help unloadin' these bales

and not worry us all to death
