(Capo on 4)
Intro.: |(G) |(C) |(G) |(C) |
(G) I dropped by to check on (C)mama, for a minute
(G) I could hear her hummin' a tune through the (C)screen door in the kitchen
(G) She was puttin' the fi-(D)nal touches on a (C)homemade pecan pie
(Am) And just like always I was, (D) right on time
(G) A little game of guess-who and I got a hug (C) and "how's my baby"
(G) I said, "You know me, mama, I've been (C)hittin' it hard, runnin' like crazy
(G) But I don't wanna (D)bore you with that (C)same old nothing's-new
(Am) I'd rather just pull up this chair (D) and get caught up on you"
(Chorus)
(G) Ain't it funny how (D) it all comes (C)back around
(G) I remember when I (D)couldn't wait to get (C)out of her hair and (D)ditch this town
I was (Em) restless a time to (D) move on, now it's (C) any reason to (Bm)go back home
That's what's it (Am)all about, (Bm) yeah, I'm just (C)slowin' down
to get my feet back (G)on the ground (C)
(G) That minute turned into an (C)hour before I knew it
(G) And I got my fill on pie and how's (C)everybody doin'
(G) I used to look through (D)every reason in the (C)world to hit that door
And she said, (Am) "You want another cup of coffee?" I said, (D) "Yeah, I'll take one more"
(Chorus)
(G) Ain't it funny how (D) it all comes (C)back around
(G) I remember when I (D)couldn't wait to get (C)out of her hair and (D)ditch this town
I was (Em) restless a time to (D) move on, now it's (C) any reason to (Bm)go back home
That's what's it (Am)all about, (Bm) yeah, I'm just (C)slowin' down to get my feet back
Inst.: |(G)on (D) the |(C)ground |(G)(D)|(C)
(Tag)
And now, (Em) I can't go too (D) many days without (C) checkin' in, just (Bm)touchin' base
And just (Am)slowin' down, (Bm) back (C)on the ground ---
(G) I dropped by to check on (C)mama, for a minute -----
