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
