I like the way sparkling earrings lay
Upon your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert night
With a million stars all around
I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Aw but she can't take you any way
You don't already know how to go
I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
I get this feelin' I may know you
As a lover and a friend
This voice keeps whisperin' in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
Yes I'm already standin'
Yes I'm already standin'
On the ground
Upon your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert night
With a million stars all around
I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Aw but she can't take you any way
You don't already know how to go
I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
I get this feelin' I may know you
As a lover and a friend
This voice keeps whisperin' in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
Yes I'm already standin'
Yes I'm already standin'
On the ground

Out here-there actually are a billion stars in the night sky.
OT - Music has been a really great backdrop to my entire life... of course, the reality is, music IS my entire life.
I might be a new love or one that is getting stronger, but no matter what, it is while things are good and look to be getting better. The whole point of not being let down and already being on the ground, is that he isn't letting himself get high expectations or let himself get too close. Relationships in the past have hurt him so deeply that he doesn't let his guard down. He enjoys her, he thinks there might be a future, but the voice and past history tell him to stay unattached.
It is a love song, yes, but it is more about protecting yourself from rushing in emotionally. You never know when it might turn, and you might not see them again. Those who have been hurt enough by strong relationships failing can make the most sense of these lyrics. You want to get close to someone again, to fall in love... but you don't let yourself so you don't get let down... you stay grounded.

"What a woman can do to your soul" doesn't necessarily mean she's going to do treat him badly - I think he means simply the power she can exert over a man that loves her.
anyway, its a beautiful song full of emotion and mental images. The Eagle's best. I recently saw them in concert, and they put on a great show.
'cause I'm already standing on the ground' means that the person is adjusted enough that loving someone else or rather loosing someone else will not drive them to the depths of depression....
They do not attempt to blame the person they love..'Ah, but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go'. They accept the responsibility for their own feelings and actions, and are at peace with who they are enough to really love someone.
