ebenlo · Kiss The Ground Kind Of Day (Remastered Version)

 

 LYRICS:

Ten o'clock and all is well but I'm weepin'

Good enough, I'm sure I'll laugh and swell when I'm sleepin'

It's been a year, how much can you stand

Kicking sand in a foreign land

Lazy nights, crazy days in the field, yeah

I can't wait to get back to the States, nice to see ya

I'm flying home in a couple of weeks

The plane touches down and all I'll think, is it's gonna be

A KISS THE GROUND KIND OF DAY

Yeah, yeah

It's been four years with Uncle Sam now it's questions

No more job, don't you need a resume for the next one

With your final pay, what will you do

Buy a big fat keg and a three piece suit

It's gonna be

A KISS THE GROUND KIND OF DAY

Yeah, yeah

You know, I know how it feels to be out there in the wild, wild, middle of nowhere

Where things like Big Macs, cherry pie, and five regulars for five dollars are a long lost and well remembered figment of your imagination

You wanna know what I missed the most while I was out there, was my folks, Arby's sauce, and pizza, and not necessarily in that order

I tell ya what I don't miss now that I'm back is sucking on that rubber mask for eight or more hours at a time, in the heat of a summer's day

We used to say, "People back home have got no idea what we're going through," and really, who wants to tell them?

Well you know what, maybe now they do

I think that every last one of us out here would like to thank you guys for your sacrifice

We are all, all praying you guys make it on back here safe and sound

Until that time comes you touch down on the tarmac

And plant your own kisser right here in this ground

Here I am in my hometown, and it's bliss

I just found out about them Cali girls with a kiss

America, land of the free true home of the brave, friend to you and me

It's gonna be

A KISS THE GROUND KIND OF DAY

Yeah, yeah
