Meanwhile Back at Mama's

Runnin' round in this new truck
Bank lets me borrow from month to month
Running out of credit
Find a little cash on the radio
Standin' 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 light's on, come on in if ya wanna
Supper's on the stove and beers 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 ya thought you'd never miss
In a world gone crazy as this
Well I found the 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 ya wanna
Supper's on the stove and beers 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 ya 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" sign's gone up
And I'm gonna dump this truck and the little I got
On a loan to own any three-acre lot
Put supper 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
