Eric Church - Homeboy
D
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 mamma, pushed daddy around 
    C                G
You tore off in his car 
D
Here you are runnin' these dirty old streets 
C                        G
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth 
        D                                     C                     G
Got the hood here snow, but you cant fool me, we both know who you are 

Chorus:
D                                          C             
Homeboy your gonna wish one day you were sittin' on the gate of a 
G
truck by the lake
             D
with your high school flame on one side,
           C           G
 ice cold beer on the other
D                               
Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty,
 C                              G
little house little kids little small town story
         D                                      C              G
If you don't ever do anything else for me just do this for me brother,
           D
 come on homeboy
C G

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

[Repeat Chorus]
D
You can't hold back the hands of time 
C                           G   
Mamas goin' grey and so is Daddy's mind 
             D                               C G*(strum once)             
I wish you'd come on back and make it alright 
(let G ring)            D          C G
before they're called...homeboy
