D
You were too bad for a little square town
Cadd9 Em7
with your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground
D
Heard you cussed out mamma, pushed daddy around
Cadd9 Em7
You tore off in his car
D
Here you are runnin' these dirty old streets
Cadd9 Em7
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth
D Cadd9 Em7
Got the hood here snow, but you cant fool me,
we both know who you are
Chorus:
D Cadd9
Homeboy your gonna wish one day you were
sittin' on the gate of a
Em7
truck by the lake
D
with your high school flame on one side,
Cadd9 Em7
ice cold beer on the other
D
Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty,
Cadd9 Em7
little house little kids little small town story
D Cadd9 Em7
If you don't ever Do anything else for me just
Do this for me brother,
D
come on homeboy
Cadd9 Em7
D
I's haulin' this hay, Uncle Joe's farm
Cadd9 Em7
Thought of us bare foot kids in the yard
D Cadd9
Man it seems we were just catchin' snakes in the barn
Em7
now you're caught up in this mess
D
I can use a little help unloadin' these bails
Cadd9 Em7
I can keep ya pretty busy with a hammer and a nail
D Cadd9
Ain't a glamorous life, but it'll keep you outta jail
Em7
and not worry us all to death
[Repeat Chorus]
D
You can't hold back the hands of time
Cadd9 Em7
Mamas goin' grey and so is Daddy's mind
D Cadd9 Em7 (arpeggiate)
I wish you'd come on back and make it alright
D Cadd9 Em7
before they're called... homeboy
D Cadd9 Em7
Homeboy
D Cadd9 Em7
Come on homeboy
D Cadd9 Em7
Homeboy
D
Come on homeboy
