Verse 1
D
You were too bad for a little square town
Cadd9 G
with your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground
D
Heard you cussed out mamma, pushed daddy around
Cadd9 G
You tore off in his car
D
Here you are runnin’ these dirty old streets
Cadd9 G
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth
D Cadd9
Got the hood here snow, but you cant fool me, we both know who you are

Chorus:
D Cadd9 G
Homeboy your gonna wish one day you were sittin’ on the gate of a truck by the lake
D Cadd9 G
with your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
D Cadd9 G
Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty, little house little kids little small town story
D Cadd9 G D Cadd9
If you don’t ever do anything else for me just do this for me brother, come on homeboy
Verse 2
D
I's haulin’ this hay, Uncle Joe's farm
Cadd9 G
Thought of us bare foot kids in the yard
D
Man it seems we were just catchin’ snakes in the barn
Cadd9
now you’re caught up in this mess
D
I can use a little help unloadin’ these bales
Cadd9 G
can keep ya pretty busy with a hammer and a nail
D
Ain’t a glamorous life, but it’ll keep you outta jail
Cadd9 G
and not worry us all to death
Chorus:
D Cadd9 G
Homeboy your gonna wish one day you were sittin’ on the gate of a truck by the lake
D Cadd9 G
with your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
D Cadd9 G
Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty, little house little kids little small town story
D Cadd9 G D Cadd9
If you don’t ever do anything else for me just do this for me brother, come on homeboy
D
You can’t hold back the hands of time
Cadd9 G
Mamas goin’ grey and so is Daddy’s mind
D
I wish you’d come on back and make it alright
Cadd9 G
before they’re called…homeboy
(rest of song follows this pattern)
D Cadd9 G D
Homeboy
Come on homeboy
Homeboy
Come on homeboy
