Step Back Lyrics by Tom Dibb

Ground Up

2017

[Verse 1]
I take an early morning stroll down on black rock sands
Kicking my heels Darjeeling steaming in my hand
I think to myself what do I really need?
I need the top of the morning, the end of the day
And all that's in between going my own way
Sun punching through the clouds just to kiss upon a mountain top

[Bridge]
Look at what we’ve done, what have we become?

[Chorus]
I’m gonna take a step back
I’m gonna lay my hat
Everywhere I go
I’m gonna take to the road
I’m gonna make it my home

[Verse 2]
And now here come the raindrops tapping on my tin top
Like my chains, I watch the tide roll away
No more shutting me out, flagging me down
Wild goosing around, I think it's time I took the reigns
I need to revel in times impromptu, dodge man-made career
Travel the world adventure, take my songs to virgin ears
Now hands up sheriff, I’m taking a stroll

[Bridge]
Look at what you've done, look what I've become

[Chorus]
I’m gonna take a step back
I’m gonna lay my hat
Everywhere I go
I’m gonna take to the road
I’m gonna make it my home

[Verse 3]
I won't fight for your dream anymore
I won't stagnate while you walk through the doors
I’m not wrapped around no one's finger anymore

[Chorus]
I’m gonna take a step back
I’m gonna lay my hat
Everywhere I go
I’m gonna take to the road
I’m gonna make it my home
I’m gonna take a step back
I’m gonna lay my hat
Everywhere I go
I’m gonna take to the road
I’m gonna make it my home
