Back On Earth (Album Version)

(skip ewing/donny kees)
Well i hit the charts and i took a trip
On this silver eagle rocket ship
Hey now look at me im hanging with the stars
And ive tried my hardest not to change
But everyone around keeps acting strange
People look at me like im a man from mars
Thats what i told her through the sound check noise in kansas
And the satellite relayed me this reply
Back on earth
Theres a woman whos wishing
An ordinary man was sitting in the kitchen
Drinking her coffee after loving her all night long
Back on earth
Theres a brown- eyed baby
Whos old enough now to tell me all the ways
Shes needing her daddy
And wondering when hes coming home
Now im out in space here wondering if its worth
Everything im missing
Back on earth
But i played the show and the crowd went wild
Shared my heart and the good lord smiled
And i thanked them all for being kind to me
In the morning theres another town
With a hotel room where we touch down
Where ill face the situations gravity
As i navigate the milky way i contemplate the dues i pay
Could there be another way, god, i love to sing and play
Back on earth
Theres a woman whos wishing
An ordinary man was sitting in the kitchen
Drinking her coffee after loving her all night long
Back on earth
Theres a brown-eyed baby
Whos old enough now to tell me all the ways
Shes needing her daddy
And wondering when hes cominghome
Now im out in space here wondering if its worth
Everything im missing
Back on earth
Im up in space here wondering if its worth
Everything im missing
Back on earth
