Lyrics for Song: Got My Feet On The Ground
Lyrics for Album: Kinda Kinks [1965]
I wanna lot out of life, but I know my limitations
Guess I want a lot of things and got my inclinations
Got my feet on the ground, and I'm standing on my own
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
I've learned a lot out of life, watchin' other folks mistakes
Funny things that they can get for finding out too late
I got my feet on the ground, and I'm standing on my own
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
Well I don't need nobody else
All I need's a single ticket
When I travel on my own
Not afraid to be alone
I got my feet upon the ground, and I'm standing on my own
When I travel far and wide
And looking for a four leaf clover
Don't mind if I can't find it, got no chip upon my shoulder
Got my feet on the ground, and I'm standing on my own
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
Well I don't need nobody else
All I need's a single ticket
When I travel on my own
Not afraid to be alone
I got my feet upon the ground, and I'm standing on my own
When I travel far and wide
And looking for a four leaf clover
Don't mind if I can't find it, got no chip upon my shoulder
Got my feet on the ground, and I'm standing on my own
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
(repeat)

Got My Feet On The Ground
Recorded in 1965, 'Got My Feet On The Ground' stands as a defining track from The Kinks' 'Kinda Kinks' album, capturing the band's signature blend of rock and roll energy and social commentary. Written by Ray Davies, the song reflects the group's characteristic focus on everyday life and the generational divide between parents and children, a central theme throughout their discography. Released during the height of British Invasion popularity, the recording showcases Davies' distinctive vocal delivery and the band's tight, driving instrumentation. It remains a staple of their catalog, illustrating how The Kinks balanced catchy pop structures with deeper observations on youth culture and family dynamics that would characterize their work for decades to come. |
