Paroles de Back on the ground

I dropped 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 mama, i've been hittin' it hard, runnin' like crazy
But i don't wanna bore you with that same old nothing'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 restless and time to move on
Now it's any reason to go back home
That's what's it all about
Yeah, i'm just slowin' down
To get my feet back on the ground

That minute turned into an hour before i knew it
And i got my fill on pie and how everybody's doin'
I used to look through 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"
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, time to move on
Now it's any reason to go back home
That's what's it all about
Yeah, i'm just slowin' down
To get my feet back on the ground
And now i can't go too many days without checkin' in
Just touchin' base and just slowin' down, back on the ground
I dropped by to check on mama for a minute
