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
