Capo 4

A G

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

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

Verse 2
I's haulin' this hay, Uncle Joe's farm
Thought of us bare foot kids in the yard
Man it seems we were just catchin' snakes in the barn
now you're caught up in this mess
I can use a little help unloadin' these bales
I can keep ya pretty busy with a hammer and a nail
Ain't a glamorous life, but it'll keep you outta jail
and not worry us all to death

Chorus

A G 3x

Bridge
A
You can't hold back the hands of time
G
Mamas goin' grey and so is Daddy's mind
              A                           G
I wish you'd come on back and make it alright
NC                       A
before they're called…homeboy

A G (rest of song follows this pattern)

Homeboy

Come on homeboy

Homeboy

Come on homeboy

Hey, no problem!! It's a great song.
-JohnGerrits | 2/18/2011
stupid question, buuuut, been listening to E.C. for a long time, and i cant find this song to buy anywhere.... Is it possibly a regional bootleg file? If it is, i have a lot of old Cody Canada, Jason Boland, Stoney Larue, Mike Mcclure, etc., bootlegs i'd love to share if you wanto to trade. Thanks!
-abarlow7 | 2/18/2011
Thank you! Was confused bc on youtube this one sounded studio and the others were only live... Either way, pumped about the new album.
-abarlow7 | 3/22/2011
it sounds like there should be an extra D chord in the verse after the G, so it kinda plays out like A,G,D. I was playin it like that and it sounded like it flowed better. What do you think?
-jdeere14 | 3/28/2011
You're right! Thanks! I'll fix that right away.
-JohnGerrits | 3/30/2011
drop d down half a step there is no capo chords are d, d/c, d/b and d/f
-CODY122288 | 3/31/2011
not sayin your wrong cuz your version sounds pretty good but he played it acoustic at the opery with no capo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNaajAeD6t0
-MrBadass | 6/6/2011
the drop d sounds good to me if your playing solo.
-jbfelker | 6/8/2011
its on his new album that hasn't come out yet if anyone was wondering
-Wkhugh01 | 6/22/2011
This is close but it's missing alot of chords... need to add in some D's and change a few chords as well. Not trying to be a prick but thought you'd like to know
-LoganM20 | 11/22/2011
Seems like you need a D between every G and A.
