Don't Forget To Remember Me

(albüm: Some Hearts - 2005)

18 years
Have come and gone
For momma they flew by
But for me they drug on and on

We were loading up that Chevy
Both trying not to cry
Momma kept on talking
Putting off good-bye

Then she took my hand and said
Baby don't forget

Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas
There's a 50 in the ashtray
In case you run short on cash

Here's a map and here's a Bible
If you ever lose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
Don't forget to remember me

This downtown apartment
Sure makes me miss home
And those bills 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 everything's alright

Before we hung up I said
Hey momma, don't forget

To tell my baby sister
I'll see her in the fall
And tell Memaw that I miss her
Yeah, I should give her a call

And make sure you tell Daddy
That I'm still his little girl
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 pray
I haven't done this in a while
So I don't know what to say but

Lord I feel so small sometimes in this big old place
Yeah, I know there's more important things,
But don't forget to remember me
Don't forget to remember me
