Homeboy (Live At The Palace At Auburn Hills, Auburn Hills, MI / February 25, 2017)

[Verse 1]

You were too bad for a little square town

With your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground

Heard you cussed out Mama, pushed Daddy around

Before you tore off in his car

Here you are runnin' these dirty old streets

Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth

Got the hood here snowed, but you can't fool me

We both know who you are

[Chorus]

Homeboy you're gonna wish one day

You were sittin' 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

If you don't ever do anything else for me

Just do this for me, brother

Come on home, boy

[Verse 2]

I was haulin' this hay to Uncle Joe's farm

I thought of us bare foot kids in the yard

Man it seems we were just catchin' snakes in the barn

Now you're caught up in this mess

I can use a little help unloadin' these bales

I can keep ya pretty busy with a hammer and a nail

Ain't a glamorous life, but it'll keep you outta jail

And not worry us all to death

[Chorus]

Homeboy you're gonna wish one day

You were sittin' 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

If you don't ever do anything else for me

Just do this for me, brother

Come on home, boy

Come on home, boy

Yeah

[Bridge]

You can't hold back the hands of time

Mama's goin' grey, and so is Daddy's mind

I wish you'd come on back and make it all right

Before they're called home, boy

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Homeboy

Homeboy

Come on home, boy
