Don't Forget To Remember Me
18 years have come and goneFor momma they flew byBut for me they drug on and onWe were loading up that ChevyBoth tryin' not to cryMomma kept on talkingPutting off good-byeThen she took my hand and said'Baby don't forget
Before you hit the highwayYou better stop for gasThere's a 50 in the ashtrayIn case you run short on cashHere's a map and here's a BibleIf you ever lose your way
Just one more thing before you leaveDon't forget to remember me'
This downtown apartment sure makes me miss homeAnd those bills there on the counterKeep telling me I'm on my ownAnd just like every Sunday I called momma up last nightAnd even when it's not, I tell her everything's alrightBefore we hung up I said'Hey momma, don't forget to tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fallAnd tell Memaw that I miss herYeah, I should give her a callAnd make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girlYeah, I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to beDon't forget to remember me'
Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to prayI haven't done this in a whileSo I don't know what to say but'Lord I feel so small sometimes in this big ol' placeYeah, I know there are more important things,But don't forget to remember meBut don't forget to remember me'
