back on earth

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 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, i'm up in space here wondering if it's worth, everything i'm missing, back on earth
