John Michael Montgomery - Good Ground lyrics

Yea

Mmmm

After drivin' all night Daddy stopped the car

Said, "Wake up kids

Here we are

This is our new home"

Yea

From that Oldsmobile all I could see

Was an ocean of fields out in front of me

It just rolled on, on and on

Daddy crossed the fence and he knelt down

Filled his hands with rich farmland and said,

"This is good ground"

I had it all underneath my feet

There was room to grow

There was time to breathe

And dreams stretched high under summer skies

This is where I'm from

This is who I am

Down these roads I became a man

And they're callin' me

Where my roots run deep

Deep down

This is good ground

Yea

Mamma had me diggin' in her flower bed

There it was an arrowhead

All I wanted to be, was Cherokee

Seasons change and childhood goes

I laid down my homemade bow for a brown-eyed girl

She changed my world

I learned to drive so we could ride around

We made the sweetest memories in it

On good ground

I had it all underneath my feet

There was room to grow

There was time to breathe

And dreams stretched high under summer skies

This is where I'm from

This is who I am

Down these roads I became a man

And they're callin' me

Where my roots run deep

Deep down

This is good ground

I drove all night then I stopped the car

Said, "Wake up kids

Here we are

This is our new home

It's been too long"

I crossed that fence and I knelt down

Said, "Everybody gather 'round

Hold out your hands

This is good ground"

You got it all underneath your feet

There's room to grow

There's time to breathe

And dreams stretched high under summer skies

This is where I'm from

This is who I am

Down these roads I became a man

And they're callin' me

Where my roots run deep

Deep down

This is good ground

Yea

Yeah

Good ground

Good, good ground
