Eric Church – Homeboy Lyrics 14 years ago
You guys aren't looking at it with an open mind- just because its called "homeboy" doesn't mean its really about a homeboy. watch the video, watch the seriousness eric sings this song with. its a lot deeper then it sounds at first listen. i haven't decided if its about his actual BROTHER, or a close friend. (he uses the term brother which isnt common with country type people unless it is their brother) Take a look at these lines tho....
"We both know who you are" (eric knows this guy)
"If you don't do anything else for me just do this for me brother, come on home, boy.." (called him brother like i said earlier, also asks him to come home, like they shared the same home at some point, hes asking him to do something for him)
"I was haulin' hay to Uncle Joes farm, thought of us barefoot, just kids in the yard" (he says uncle joe like it is his and this guys uncle, and talks about them being kids together)
"I wish you'd come on back and make it all right before their called home, boy." (come back and make it alright with their parents before they pass away)
