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

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

D
Homeboy, youre gonna wish one day, 
              C                     G
That you were sittin on a gate of a truck by the lake
          D                                       C           G
With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
D                                            C
Aint no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little 
G
small town story
       D                                       C              G
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,
D                        C   G
come on home, boy,
D                        C   G   D
Come on home, boy

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

Before theyre called home, boy

D
Homeboy
D             C   G
Come on home, boy
D    C G
Homeboy
          D
Come on home, boy.
