Running round in this new truck
|
Bank, let's me borrow from month to month
|
Running out of credit and find a little cash on the radio.
|
Standing still they're blowing past
|
Numbers on cars going Nascar fast
|
What I wouldn't give for a slow down, don't you know!
|
Cause where I come from, only the horses run
|
When the day is done, we take it easy.
|
|
Chorus:
|
Meanwhile back at mama's
|
The porch lights on, come on in if you wanna!
|
Suppers on the stove, and beer's in the fridge
|
Red sun sinking out low on the ridge
|
Games on the tube and daddy smoked cigarettes
|
Whiskey keeps his whistle wet
|
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss
|
In a world gone crazy as this.
|
|
Well I found a girl and we don't fit in here
|
Talk about how hard it is to breathe here
|
Even with the windows down can't catch a southern breeze here
|
One of these days gonna pack it up and leave here.
|
|
Chorus:
|
Cause Meanwhile back at mama's
|
The porch lights on, come on in if you wanna!
|
Suppers on the stove, and beer's in the fridge
|
Red sun sinking out low on the ridge
|
Games on the tube and daddy smoked cigarettes
|
Whiskey keeps his whistle wet
|
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss
|
In a world gone crazy as this.
|
|
Oh I miss, yeah, a little dirt on the road
|
I miss corn growing in a row
|
I miss being somebody everybody knows
|
There everybody knows everybody!
|
I miss those small town roots
|
Walking around in muddy boots
|
The sound of rain on an old tin roof
|
It's time we head on back!
|
|
Cause meanwhile back at Mama's
|
The for sale signs going up and I'm gonna
|
Dump this truck and the little I've got
|
On a loan to own and a three acre lot
|
Put supper on the stove and beer in the fridge
|
Going for broke, yeah we're gonna be rich
|
Watch the sun setting on the ridge
|
Baby tell me what you think about this!
|
Me and you back at mama's
|
Yeah, me and you back at mama's!
|
