Intro: C, Am, F, G (x2)

Verses:
C
Runnin round in this new truck
Am
Bank lets me borrow from month to month
F                                                     G
I'm runnin out of credit, find a little Cash on the radio
C                                   Am
Standin still they're blowin past, numbers on cars goin NASCAR fast
F                                        G
What I wouldn't give for a slow down, don't you know
F                                G
Cause where I come from only the horses run
F                                  G
When the day is done, we take it easy

Chorus:
C
Meanwhile back at Mama's
Am
The porch light's on, come on in if you wanna
F
Supper's on the stove and beer's in the fridge
G
Red sun sinkin' out low on the ridge,
C
Games on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes
Am
Whiskey keeps his whistle wet
F
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss,
G
In a world gone crazy as this

(Repeat intro)

C
Well I found a girl and we don't fit in here. 
Am
Talk about how hard it is to breathe here,
     F                                                         G
Even with the windows down can't catch a southern breeze here, One of these days gonna
pack it up and leave here

Chorus:

C                             Am
Meanwhile back at Mama's, the porch light's on come in if you wanna,
F                                              G
Supper's on the stove and beers in the fridge, red sun sinking out low on the ridge.
C                                               Am
Game's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes, whiskey keeps his whistle wet,
F                                                   G
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss, in a world gone crazy as this.

(Repeat intro x2)

   C                                        Am
Oh, I miss, yeah, a little dirt on the road. I miss corn growing in a row.
  F                                          G
I miss being somebody everybody knows, where everybody knows everybody.
  C                            Am
I miss those small town roots. Walking around in muddy boots.
    F                                      G
The sound of rain on an old tin roof, it's time we head on back.

Chorus:

       C                            Am
'Cause meanwhile back at Mama's, the For Sale sign's going up and I'm gonna,
F                                         G
Dump this truck and the little I got on a loan to own and a three-acre lot.
    C                                           Am
Put supper on the stove and beer in the fridge, going for broke and we're gonna be rich,
F                                         G
Watch the sun setting on the ridge, baby, tell me what you think about this


C, Am, F, G
Me and you back at Mama's.
C, Am, F, G
Yeah, me and you back at Mama's.
