Intro

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 tryin' 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 ashtray

 In case you run short on cash

 Here's a map and here's a Bible

 If you ever loose 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 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 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 some times in this big ol' place

 I know there are more important things, but

 Don't forget to remember me

 Don't forget to remember me
