Growing up in a country, I'm guessing the song is simply a humorous recounting of being slapped around by his mom for not coming home on time (for dinner probably, probably also didn't do the chores, haha).

The last chorus is especially hilarious, the way the pitch of his voice rises to an almost wailing tone. XD Anticipating the beating.
