You were too bad for a little square town ,

With your hip - hop hat and your pants on the ground ,

Heard you cussed out mama , pushed daddy around

before you tore off in his car...

Here you are running these dirty old streets

Tattoo on your neck , fake gold on your teeth

Got the 'hood here snowed , but you can't fool me

We both know who you are

Homeboy , you're gonna wish one day ,

That you were sittin' on a gate of a truck by the lake

With your high school flame on one side , ice cold beer on the other

Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty , little house , little kid , little small town story

If you don't ever do anything else for me , just do this for me brother ,

Come on home , boy.

I was haulin' this hay to Uncle Joe's farm ,

Thought of us barefoot kids in the yard ,

Man , it seems we were just catchin' snakes in the barn

Now you're caught up in this mess

I could use a little help unloading these bales

I could keep you pretty busy with a hammer and nails

Ain't a glamorous life but it will keep you outta jail ,

Not worry us all to death

Homeboy , you're gonna wish one day ,

That you were sittin' on a gate of a truck by the lake

With your high school flame on one side , ice cold beer on the other

Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty , little house , little kid , little small town story

If you don't ever do anything else for me , just do this for me brother ,

come on home , boy ,

Come on home , boy...

You can't hold back the hands of time ,

Mama's goin' grey , and so is daddy's mind

I Wish you'd come on back and make it all right

Before they're called home , boy...

Homeboy

Come on home , boy

Homeboy

Come on home , boy.
