That's what I told her through the sound check noise in Kansas
She's needing her daddy
And I thanked them all for being kind to me
And the satellite relayed me this reply
Who's old enough now to tell me all the ways
There's a woman who's wishing
But I played the show and the crowd went wild
An ordinary man was sitting in the kitchen
Back on earth
There's a brown-eyed baby
And back on earth
She's needing her daddy
Everything I'm missing
I shared my heart and the good Lord smiled
Drinking her coffee after loving her all night long
But everyone around keeps acting strange
As I navigate the milky way, I contemplate the dues I pay
Back on earth
Now I'm out in space here wondering if it's worth
There's a woman who's wishing
In the morning, there's another town
Hey, now look at me, I'm hanging with the stars
And wondering when he's coming home
An ordinary man was sitting in the kitchen
There's a brown-eyed baby
Where I'll face the situation's gravity
Back on earth
And I've tried my hardest not to change
Could there be another way, God, I love to sing and play
Back on earth
Who's old enough now to tell me all the ways
People look at me like I'm a man from Mars
And wondering when he's coming home
Everything I'm missing
And I'm out in space here wondering if it's worth
Drinking her coffee after loving her all night long
Everything I'm missing
Back on earth
With a hotel room where we touch down
Yeah, I'm up in space here wondering if it's worth
