I dropped by to check on mama for a minute I can hear her hummin a tune Through the screen door in the kitchen She was puttin' the final touches on a home-made pecan pie And just like always, I was right on time Little game of guess who, and I got a hug, and hows my baby I said you know me mama, I've been hittin' it hard and runnin' like crazy But I don't wanna bore you with the same ol' nothings 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, A time to move on Now it's any reason to go back home That's what it's all about Yeah, and just slowin' down And get my feet back on the ground That minute turned into an hour 'Fore 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 and 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, A time to move on Now it's any reason to go back home That's what it's all about Yeah, and just slowin' down To get my feet back on the ground And now I can't go too many days Without checking in, just touching base And just slowin' down Back on the ground I dropped by to check on mama for a minute
