You were too bad for a little square town
          G D2
with your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground
           A5
Heard you cussed out mamma, pushed daddy around
     G D2
You tore off in his car
[A5]Here you are runninâ?? these dirty old streets,.-
   G D2
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth

Got the hood here snow, but you cant fool me, we both know who you are

Homeboy your gonna wish one day you were sittinâ?? on the gate of a truck by the lake

with your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other

Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty, little house little kids little small town story

[A5]I can use a little help unloadinâ?? these bales
   G D2
I can keep ya pretty busy with a hammer and a nail

I wish youâ??d come on back and make it alright
GÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â D2
before theyâ??re calledâ?¦homeboy
A G D A (rest of song follows this pattern)
Homeboy
Come on homeboy
Homeboy
Come on homeboyÂ
(other things to consider are little adds like a vibrato on the G on your Low E
string after the D in both the outro and during the song like after the line "tore
off in his car"
