Back on Earth

[Verse 1]
Well, I hit the charts and I took a trip
On this silver eagle rocket ship
Hey, now, look at me, I'm hangin' with the stars
And I've tried my hardest not to change
But everyone around keeps actin' strange
People look at me like I'm a man from Mars
That's what I told her through the soundcheck noise in Kansas
And the satellite relayed me this reply

[Chorus]
Back on Earth
There's a woman who's wishin'
An ordinary man was sittin' in the kitchen
Drinkin' her coffee after lovin' her all night long
Back on Earth
There's a brown-eyed baby
Who's old enough now to tell me all the ways
She's needin' her daddy
And wonderin' when he's comin' home
Now I'm out in space here wonderin' if it's worth
Everything I'm missin' back on Earth

[Verse 2]
But I played the show and the crowd went wild
I shared my heart and the good Lord smiled
And I thanked them all for bein' kind to me
In the mornin', there's another town
With a hotel room where we touch down
Where I'll face the situation's 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, yeah

[Chorus]
Back on Earth
There's a woman who is wishin'
An ordinary man was sittin' in the kitchen
Drinkin' her coffee after lovin' her all night long
And back on Earth
There's a blonde-haired baby
Who's old enough now to tell me all the ways
She's needin' her daddy
And wonderin' when he's comin' home
And I'm out in space and wonderin' if it's worth
Everything I'm missin' back on Earth
Yeah, I'm up in space and wonderin' if it's worth
Everything I'm missin' back on Earth
