Running 'round in this new truck
Bank lets me borrow from month to month
I'm running out of credit
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 ya know
‘Cause where I come from only the horses run
When the day is done
we take it easy
Meanwhile back at mama's
the porch light's on
come on in if you wanna
Supper's on the stove
and beer's in the fridge
Red sun sinking out low on the ridge
Games on the tube and
daddy smokes 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
‘Cause meanwhile back at mama's
the porch light's on come on in if you wanna
Supper's on the stove and beer's in the fridge
Red sun sinking out low on the ridge
Games on the tube and
daddy smokes 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 routes
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 sign's going up
and I'm gonna
dump this truck and the little I got
on a loan to own and a three acre lot
Supper’s on the stove
and beer in the fridge
Going for broke and 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
