Runnin' round in this new truck Bank lets me borrow from month to month I'm runnin' out of credit, and find a little cash on the radio Standin' still they're blowin' past, numbers on cars goin' 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 sinkin' 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 sinkin' 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 growin' in a row I miss being somebody everybody knows, there everybody knows everybody I miss those small town routes, walkin' 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 goin' up and I'm gonna Dump this truck and the little I got On a loan to own and a three-acre lot Put supper on the stove and beer in the fridge Goin' for broke and we're gonna be rich Watch the sun settin' 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
