A G
Verse 1
A5
You were too bad for a little square town
G D2
with your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground
A5
Heard you cussed out mamma, pushed daddy around
G D2
You tore off in his car
A5
Here you are runnin’ these dirty old streets,.-
G D2
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth
A5 G D2
Got the hood here snow, but you cant fool me, we both know who you are

Chorus:
A5 G D2
Homeboy your gonna wish one day you were sittin’ on the gate of a truck by the lake
A5 G D2
with your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
A5 G D2
Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty, little house little kids little small town story
A5 G D2 A5 G
If you don’t ever do anything else for me just do this for me brother, come on homeboy
Verse 2
A5
I's haulin’ this hay, Uncle Joe's farm
G D2
Thought of us bare foot kids in the yard
A5
Man it seems we were just catchin’ snakes in the barn
G D2
now you’re caught up in this mess
A5
I can use a little help unloadin’ these bales
G D2
I can keep ya pretty busy with a hammer and a nail
A5
Ain’t a glamorous life, but it’ll keep you outta jail
G D2
and not worry us all to death
Chorus
A G 3x
Bridge
A5
You can’t hold back the hands of time
G D2
Mamas goin’ grey and so is Daddy’s mind
A5
I wish you’d come on back and make it alright
G D2
before they’re called…homeboy
A G D A (rest of song follows this pattern)
Homeboy
Come on homeboy
Homeboy
Come on homeboy
(other things to consider are little adds like a vibrato on the G on your Low E
string after the D in both the outro and during the song like after the line "tore
off in his car"
Let me know what you think
