When I was very young dad would take me out to play
Frolic and discuss the coming days
When I would go out on my own for all the world to see
This is what my dad would always say

Keep your feet on the ground what goes up must come down
And solitaire's a lonely game when there's no one else around
Keep Jesus on the throne of life no matter where you're bound
He will always help you keep your feet upon the ground

[ banjo - mandolin ]
The years have traveled by me and tomorrow's gonna wait
Made a few mistakes along the way
But whenever things get really tough I think back on the times
When I was just a girl and dad would say

Keep your feet on the ground...

[ fiddle ]
Keep your feet on the ground...
He will always help you keep your feet upon the ground
