YDou were too bad for a little square town

We Cadd9both know who you Gare
[Chorus]
DHomeboy, you’re 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
DAin’t no shame in a blue collar forty, little Cadd9house, little kid, little

If you Ddon’t ever do anything else for me, just Cadd9do this for me Gbrother
Come on Dhome, boy.

Cadd9

Eric Church - Homeboy

Drop D tuning

[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 runnin' these dirty old streets

Cadd9 G

Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth

Got the hood here snowed, but you can’t fool me

Cadd9 G

We both know who you are

[Chorus]

Homeboy, you’re 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

Ain’t no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little

small town story

D Cadd9 G

If you don’t 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 you’re caught up in this mess

I could use a little help unloadin' these bales

Cadd9 G

I could keep you pretty busy with a hammer and nails

Ain’t a glamorous life but it will keep you outta jail

Cadd9 G

Not worry us all to death

[Chorus]

Homeboy, you’re 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

Ain’t no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little

If you don’t 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

[Outro]

You cant hold back the hands of time

Cadd9 G

Mamas goin' grey, and so is daddys mind

D Cadd9 G

I wish you’d come on back and make it all right

Before they’re called home, boy

Homeboy

D Cadd9 G

Come on home, boy

D Cadd9 G

Homeboy

Come on home, boy
