Intro
18 years have c ome and gone
For momma they flew by
But for me they drug on and on
We were l oading up that Chevy
Both tryin' not to cry
Momma kept on talking
Putting off good-bye
Then she took my hand and s aid
Baby don't forget
Before you hit the highway
You b etter stop for gas
There's a 50 in ashtray
In case you run short on cash
Here's a m ap and here's a Bible
If you ever loose your way
Just one more thing before you lea ve
Don't forget to remember m e
This downtown apartment sure m akes me miss home
and those b ills there on the counter
Keep telling me I'm on my own
And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night
And even when it's not, I tell her e verything's alright
Before we hung up I s aid
Hey momma, don't forget
To tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall
And tell mee-maw that I miss her
Yeah, I should give her a call
And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little g irl
Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
Don't forget to remember me
Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pr ay
I haven't done this in a w hile
So I d on't know what to say but
Lord I feel so small some times in this big ol' p lace
I know there are more important th ings, but
Don't forget to remember me
Don't forget to remember me
