Back On The Ground

G C G C G C I dropped by to check on mama, for a minute G C I could hear her hummin' a tune through the screen door in the kitchen G D C She was puttin' the fi- nal touches on a homemade pecan pie Am D And just like always I was, right on time G C A little game of guess-who and I got a hug and "how's my baby" G C I said, "You know me, mama, I've been hittin' it hard, runnin' like crazy G D C But I don't wanna bore you with that same old nothing's-new Am D I'd rather just pull up this chair and get caught up on you" G D C Ain't it funny how it all comes back around G D C D I remember when I couldn't wait to get out of her hair and ditch this town Em D C Bm I was restless a time to move on, now it's any reason to go back home Am Bm C That's what's it all about, yeah, I'm just slowin' down G C to get my feet back on the ground G C That minute turned into an hour before I knew it G C And I got my fill on pie and how's everybody doin' G D C I used to look through every reason in the world to hit that door Am D And she said, "You want another cup of coffee?" I said, "Yeah, I'll take one more" G D C Ain't it funny how it all comes back around G D C D I remember when I couldn't wait to get out of her hair and ditch this town Em D C Bm I was restless a time to move on, now it's any reason to go back home Am Bm C That's what's it all about, yeah, I'm just slowin' down to get my feet back G D C G D C Em D C Bm And now, I can't go too many days without checkin' in, just touchin' base Am Bm C And just slowin' down, back on the ground --- G C I dropped by to check on mama, for a minute -----
