Eric Church - Homeboy
D
You were too bad for a little square town 
          Cadd9                Em7
with your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground 
          D 
Heard you cussed out mamma, pushed daddy around 
    Cadd9            Em7
You tore off in his car 
D
Here you are runnin' these dirty old streets 
   Cadd9                  Em7
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth 
        D                                        Cadd9             Em7
Got the hood here snow, but you cant fool me, we both know who you are 

Chorus:
D                                        Cadd9             
Homeboy your gonna wish one day you were sittin' on the gate of a 
Em7
truck by the lake
          D
with your high school flame on one side,
          Cadd9       Em7
 ice cold beer on the other
D                               
Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty,
       Cadd9                    Em7
little house little kids little small town story
         D                                     Cadd9          Em7
If you don't ever do anything else for me just do this for me brother,
           D
 come on homeboy
Cadd9 Em7

D
I's haulin' this hay, Uncle Joe's farm 
Cadd9                   Em7
Thought of us bare foot kids in the yard 
        D                          Cadd9       
Man it seems we were just catchin' snakes in the barn 
           Em7      
now you're caught up in this mess 
D
I can use a little help unloadin' these bails 
Cadd9                            Em7
I can keep ya pretty busy with a hammer and a nail 
        D                         Cadd9 
Ain't a glamorous life, but it'll keep you outta jail 
        Em7
and not worry us all to death 

[Repeat Chorus]
D
You can't hold back the hands of time 
Cadd9                      Em7   
Mamas goin' grey and so is Daddy's mind 
             D                               Cadd9 Em7(arpeggiate)
I wish you'd come on back and make it alright 
                                D Cadd9 Em7
before they're called...homeboy


D             Cadd9 Em7
Homeboy
        D        Cadd9 Em7
Come on homeboy
D             Cadd9 Em7
