Capo 4
[Intro]
 D   Bm   G   Ax2
[Verse]
DRunning round in this new truck, Bmbank let's me borrow from month to month,
GRunning out of credit and find a little cash on the Aradio.
DStanding still they're blowing past, Bmnumbers on cars going NASCAR fast,
GWhat I wouldn't give for a slow down, Adon't you know.
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause where GI come from, only the Ahorses run,
When the Gday is done, we take it Aeasy.
[Chorus 1]
DMeanwhile back at Mama's, the Bmporch light's on come in if you wanna,
GSupper's on the stove and beers in the fridge, Ared sun sinking out low on the ridge.
DGame's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes, Bmwhiskey keeps his whistle wet,
GFunny the things you thought you'd never miss, in a Aworld gone crazy as this.
[Break]
D Bm G A
[Verse]
Well I Dfound a girl and we don't fit in here. BmTalk about how hard it is to breathe here,
Even Gwith the windows down can't catch a southern breeze here, AOne of these days gonna 
pack it up and leave here
[Chorus 1]
DMeanwhile back at Mama's, the Bmporch light's on come in if you wanna,
GSupper's on the stove and beers in the fridge, Ared sun sinking out low on the ridge.
DGame's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes, Bmwhiskey keeps his whistle wet,
GFunny the things you thought you'd never miss, in a Aworld gone crazy as this.
[Break]
 D   Bm   G   Ax2
[Verse]
Oh, I Dmiss, yeah, a little dirt on the road. I Bmmiss corn growing in a row.
I Gmiss being somebody everybody knows, where Aeverybody knows everybody.
I Dmiss those small town roots. BmWalking around in muddy boots.
The Gsound of rain on an old tin roof, it's Atime we head on back.
[Chorus 2]
'Cause Dmeanwhile back at Mama's, the BmFor Sale sign's going up and I'm gonna,
GDump this truck and the little I got on a Aloan to own and a three-acre lot.
Put Dsupper on the stove and beer in the fridge, Bmgoing for broke and we're gonna be rich,
GWatch the sun setting on the ridge, baby, Atell me what you think about this
[Outro]
DMe and you Bmback at Mama's.G  A  
Yeah, Dme and you Bmback at Mama's.G  A
