You were too bad for a little square town,
          C5                    G5
With your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground,
          D5
Heard you cussed out mama, pushed daddy around
           C5               G5
before you tore off in his car

D5 
Here you are running these dirty old streets
   C5                      G5
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth
        D5
Got the hood here snowed, but you cant fool me
   C5                 G5
We both know who you are

D5
Homeboy, youre gonna wish one day, 
              C5                     G5
That you were sittin on a gate of a truck by the lake
          D5                                       C5           G5
With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
D5                                            C5
Aint no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little

small town story

If you dont ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother,
        D (or same riff as intro)
Come on home, boy.

I was haulin this hay to Uncle Joes farm , 
Thought of us barefoot kids in the yard, 
Man, it seems we were just catchin snakes in the barn
Now youre caught up in this mess
I could use a little help unloading these bales
I could keep you pretty busy with a hammer and nails
Aint a glamorous life but it will keep you outta jail,
Not worry us all to death

Homeboy, youre gonna wish one day, 
That you were sittin on a gate of a truck by the lake
With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
Aint no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little small town story
If you dont ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother,
D5                        C5   G5
come on home, boy,
D5                        C5   G5   D5
Come on home, boy

You cant hold back the hands of time, 
Mamas goin grey, and so is daddys mind
D5                                         C5       G5
I Wish youd come on back and make it all right

Before theyre called home, boy

D5
Homeboy
D5             C5   G5
Come on home, boy
D5    C5 G5
Homeboy
          D5
Come on home, boy.
