YDou were too bad for a little square town,
With your Cadd9hip-hop hat and your Gpants on the ground,
Heard you Dcussed out mama, pushed daddy around

DHere you are running these dirty old streets
TatCadd9too on your neck, fake Ggold on your teeth
Got the Dhood here snowed, but you cant fool me
We Cadd9both know who you Gare
[Chorus]
DHomeboy, youre gonna wish one day,
That you were Cadd9sittin on a gate of a Gtruck by the lake
With your Dhigh school flame on one side, ice cold Cadd9beer on the Gother
DAint no shame in a blue collar forty, little Cadd9house, little kid, little
Gsmall town story
If you Ddont ever do anything else for me, just Cadd9do this for me Gbrother,
Come on Dhome, boy.
[Verse]
I was Dhaulin this hay to Uncle Joes farm,
Cadd9Thought of us barefoot Gkids in the yard,

I could Cadd9keep you pretty busy with a Ghammer and nails
Aint a Dglamorous life but it will keep you outta jail,
Not Cadd9worry us all to Gdeath

Cadd9

[Intro]

D Cadd9 G

[Verse]

You were too bad for a little square town,

Cadd9 G

With your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground,

Heard you cussed out mama, pushed daddy around

Cadd9 G

before you tore off in his car

Here you are running these dirty old streets

Cadd9 G

Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth

Got the hood here snowed, but you cant fool me

Cadd9 G

We both know who you are

[Chorus]

Homeboy, youre gonna wish one day,

Cadd9 G

That you were sittin on a gate of a truck by the lake

D Cadd9 G

With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other

D Cadd9

Aint no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little

small town story

D Cadd9 G

If you dont ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother,

Come on home, boy.

[Verse]

I was haulin this hay to Uncle Joes farm,

Cadd9 G

Thought of us barefoot kids in the yard,

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

Cadd9 G

Now youre caught up in this mess

I could use a little help unloading these bales

Cadd9 G

I could keep you pretty busy with a hammer and nails

Aint a glamorous life but it will keep you outta jail,

Cadd9 G

Not worry us all to death

[Chorus]

Homeboy, youre gonna wish one day,

Cadd9 G

That you were sittin on a gate of a truck by the lake

D Cadd9 G

With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other

D Cadd9

Aint no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little

small town story

D Cadd9 G

If you dont ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother,

D Cadd9 G

come on home, boy,

D Cadd9 G D

Come on home, boy

[Bridge]

You cant hold back the hands of time,

Cadd9 G

Mamas goin grey, and so is daddys mind

D Cadd9 G

I Wish youd come on back and make it all right

Before theyre called home, boy

Homeboy

D Cadd9 G

Come on home, boy

D Cadd9 G

Homeboy

Come on home, boy.
