Back On The Ground

[Verse 1] I dropped by to check on Mama for a minute I could hear her humming a tune through the screen door in the kitchen She was putting the final touches on a homemade pecan pie And just like always I was right on time Little game of guess-who and I got a hug and "How's my baby?" I said, "You know me, Mama, I've been hitting it hard, running like crazy But I don't want to bore you with that same old nothing's new I'd rather just pull up this chair and get caught up on you" [Chorus] 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's it all about Yeah, I'm just slowing down To get my feet back on the ground [Verse 2] That minute turned into an hour before 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?" I said, "Yeah, I'll take one more" [Chorus] [Outro] And now, I can't go too many days without Checking in, just touching base, and just slowing down Back on the ground I dropped by to check on Mama for a minute
