  • 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 Writer/s: Jaren Ray Johnston, Jeffrey Steele, Tom Douglas
