Meanwhile Back At Mama's

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

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

'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 3 acre lot

Put supper on the stove and beer in the fridge

Going for broke, yeah we're gonna be rich

Watch the sun settin' on the ridge

Baby tell me whatcha think about this,

Me and you back at Mama's

Yeah, me and you back at Mama's
