Good Ground Lyrics - John Michael Montgomery

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
