Eric Church - Homeboy
Drop D tuning
[Intro]
D Cadd9 G
[Verse]
D
You were too bad for a little square town
Cadd9 G
With your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground
D
Heard you cussed out mama, pushed daddy around
Cadd9 G
before you tore off in his car
D
Here you are runnin' these dirty old streets
Cadd9 G
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth
D
Got the hood here snowed, but you can’t fool me
Cadd9 G
We both know who you are
[Chorus]
D
Homeboy, you’re gonna wish one day
Cadd9 G
That you were sittin' on a gate of a truck by the lake
D Cadd9 G
With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
D Cadd9
Ain’t no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little
G
small town story
D Cadd9 G
If you don’t ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother
D
Come on home, boy.
[Verse]
D
I was haulin' this hay to Uncle Joes farm
Cadd9 G
Thought of us barefoot kids in the yard
D
Man, it seems we were just catchin' snakes in the barn
Cadd9 G
Now you’re caught up in this mess
D
I could use a little help unloadin' these bales
Cadd9 G
I could keep you pretty busy with a hammer and nails
D
Ain’t a glamorous life but it will keep you outta jail
Cadd9 G
Not worry us all to death
[Chorus]
D
Homeboy, you’re gonna wish one day
Cadd9 G
That you were sittin' on a gate of a truck by the lake
D Cadd9 G
With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
D Cadd9
Ain’t no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little
G
small town story
D Cadd9 G
If you don’t ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother
D Cadd9 G
come on home, boy,
D Cadd9 G D
Come on home, boy
[Outro]
D
You cant hold back the hands of time
Cadd9 G
Mamas goin' grey, and so is daddys mind
D Cadd9 G
I wish you’d come on back and make it all right
D
Before they’re called home, boy
D
Homeboy
D Cadd9 G
Come on home, boy
D Cadd9 G
Homeboy
D
Come on home, boy
