Homeboy Lyrics
[00:06.45] You were too bad for a little square town,
[00:09.56] With your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground,
[00:12.90] Heard you cussed out mama, pushed daddy around
[00:16.13] Before you tore off in his car
[00:19.89] Here you are running these dirty old streets
[00:23.24] Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth
[00:26.51] Got the hood here snowed, but you can't fool me
[00:29.83] We both know who you are
[00:33.42] Homeboy, you're gonna wish one day,
[00:36.74] That you were sittin' on a gate of a truck by the lake
[00:40.12] With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
[00:47.16] Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty,
[00:50.48] Little house, little kid, little small town story
[00:53.83] If you don't ever do anything else for me,
[00:58.01] Just do this for me brother,
[00:59.92] Come on home, boy.
[01:07.84] I was haulin' this hay to Uncle Joe's farm,
[01:11.25] Thought of us barefoot kids in the yard,
[01:14.49] Man, it seems we were just catchin' snakes in the barn
[01:17.91] Now you're caught up in this mess
[01:21.28] I could use a little help unloading these bales
[01:24.91] I could keep you pretty busy with a hammer and nails
[01:28.21] Ain't a glamorous life but it will keep you outta jail,
[01:31.53] Not worry us all to death
[01:34.63] Homeboy, you're gonna wish one day,
[01:38.41] That you were sittin' on a gate of a truck by the lake
[01:41.85] With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
[01:49.18] Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty,
[01:52.21] Little house, little kid, little small town story
[01:55.83] If you don't ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother,
[02:02.68] Come on home, boy,
[02:10.55] Come on home, boy
[02:24.38] You can't hold back the hands of time,
[02:28.62] Mama's goin' grey, and so is daddy's mind
[02:30.98] I wish you'd come on back and make it all right
[02:39.36] Before they're called home, boy
[03:00.00] Homeboy
[03:23.70] Come on home, boy
[03:31.37] Homeboy
[03:36.85] Come on home, boy.
[00:09.56] With your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground,
