Gettin’ Back to Norma

Ray Griff

[Verse 1]
Well, I left one early mornin'
When the dew was like a blanket on the grass
And I said goodbye to Norma
In a note without a forwarding address
Well, my life seemed kinda dull
Compared to all the things I'd heard and read about
Well, there wasn't much excitement in our town
So I decided to get out

[Verse 2]
Well, that ol' grey dog
Was kind enough to carry me away for seven skins
Lord, and we rolled into Chicago
Just in time to catch the rain and the howlin' winds
Well, the crowded streets and overtones
Of sex and violence ripped me to the core
Lord, and I stood the mass confusion
For a while but I can't take it anymore

[Chorus]
Gotta get back to Norma
And the world I left behind
Gotta get back to Norma
And the Norma frame of mind

[Verse 3]
Well, I'm a-goin' home to mockin' birds
Picnics on a Sunday afternoon
Lord, and my lust for life is over
And the air has all gone out of my balloon
Well, I've had my fill of unruly nights
Women that are classified as broads
And I'm a-goin' home to sweet Norma
Get a little closer to my Lord

[Chorus]
Gotta get back to Norma
And the world I left behind
Gotta get back to Norma
Mm, and the Norma frame of mind
