 Intro: A G

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
A5                                               G	Dsus2
Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty, little house little kids 
little small town story
A5                                       G	Dsus2    A5   G 
If you don't ever Do anything else for me just Do this for me brother, 
come on homeboy

Verse 2:
A5   
I's haulin' this hay, Uncle Joe's farm
           G                        Dsus2
Thought of us bare foot kids in the yard
           A5
Man it seems we were just catchin' snakes in the barn
      G			Dsus2
now you're caught up in this mess
A5
I can use a little help unloadin' these bales
    G				Dsus2
I can keep ya pretty busy with a hammer and a nail
        A5                                        
Ain't a glamorous life, but it'll keep you outta jail
G                   Dsus2
and not worry us all to death

Chorus

A G 3x

Bridge:
A5
You can't hold back the hands of time
G			Dsus2
Mamas goin' grey and so is Daddy's mind

I wish you'd come on back and make it alright
G                         Dsus2
before they're called?homeboy
