Feet Back on the Ground

I drop by to check on mama

For a minute

I could hear her hummin' a tune

Through the screen door in the kitchen

She was puttin' the final touches

On a homemade pecan pie

And just like always, I was

Right on time

A little game of guess who

And I got a hug and "How's my baby?", I said

You know me momma, I've been hittin' it hard

And runnin' like crazy

But I don't wanna bore you with that

Same old, nothin's 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 18, time to move on

Now it's any reason to go back home

That's what it's all about

Yeah, just slowin' down

And get my feet back on the ground

That minute turned into an hour

Before I knew it

I got my fill on pie and how everbody's doin'

I used to look for every reason in the world

To hit that door, and she said

Do you want another cup of coffee

And I said "Yeah mama I'll have 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 18, time to move on

Now it's any reason to go back home

That's what it's all about

Yeah, just slowin' down

And get my feet back on the ground

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

Now I, can't go too many days without

Checkin' in, just touchin' base

And just slowin' down

Back on the ground

I drop by to check on mama

For a minute
