(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 I`m hanging with the stars
And I`ve tried my hardest not to change
But everyone around keeps acting strange
People look at me like I`m a man from Mars
That`s what I told her through the sound check noise in Kansas
And the satellite relayed me this reply
Back on Earth
There`s a woman who`s wishing
An ordinary man was sitting in the kitchen
Drinking her coffee after loving 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 needing her daddy
And wondering when he`s coming home
Now I`m out in space here wondering if it`s worth
Everything I`m 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 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
Back on Earth
There`s a woman who`s wishing
An ordinary man was sitting in the kitchen
Drinking her coffee after loving 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 needing her daddy
And wondering when he`s coming home
Now I`m out in space here wondering if it`s worth
Everything I`m missing
Back on Earth
I`m up in space here wondering if it`s worth
Everything I`m missing
Back on Earth
