Back On The Ground

Clear As Day (2011)

I dropped by to check on mama for a minute
I can hear her hummin a tune
Through the screen door in the kitchen
She was puttin' the final touches on a home-made pecan pie

And just like always, I was right on time
Little game of guess who, and I got a hug, and hows my baby
I said you know me mama,
I've been hittin' it hard and runnin' like crazy
But I don't wanna bore you with the same ol' nothings new
I'd rather just pull up this chair
And get caught up on you

Ain't it funny how it all comes back around
I remember when I couldn't wait to get out of her hair
And ditch this town
I was restless, A time to move on
Now it's any reason to go back home
That's what it's all about
Yeah, and just slowin' down

And get my feet back on the ground
That minute turned into an hour 'Fore I knew it
And I got my fill on pie and how everybody's doing
I used to look for every reason in the world to hit that door

And she said, you want another cup of coffee and I said,
Yeah, I'll take one more

Ain't it funny how it all comes back around
I remember when I couldn't wait to get out of her hair
And ditch this town
I was restless, A time to move on
Now it's any reason to go back home
That's what it's all about
Yeah, and just slowin' down
To get my feet back on the ground

And now I can't go too many days
Without checking in, just touching base
And just slowin' down
Back on the ground

I dropped by to check on mama for a minute
