EIGHTEEN YEARS
HAD COME AND GONE
FOR MAMA THEY FLEW BY
BUT FOR ME THEY DRUG
ON AND ON
WE WERE LOADIN' UP
THAT CHEVY
BOTH TRYIN' NOT TO CRY
MAMA KEPT ON TALKIN'
PUTTIN' OFF GOODBYE
THEN SHE TOOK MY HAND
AND SAID
BABY DON'T FORGET
BEFORE YOU HIT
THE HIGHWAY
YOU BETTER STOP
FOR GAS
AND THERE'S A FIFTY
IN THE ASHTRAY
IN CASE YOU RUN SHORT
ON CASH
AND 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
4 BAR
BREAK
THIS DOWNTOWN
APARTMENT
SURE MAKES ME
MISS HOME
AND THOSE BILLS
THERE ON THE COUNTER
KEEP TELLIN' ME
I'M ON MY OWN
AND JUST LIKE
EVERY SUNDAY
I CALLED MAMA UP
LAST NIGHT
AND EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT
I TELL HER
EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT
BEFORE WE HUNG UP
I SAID
HEY MAMA
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 S'POSED
TO BE
BUT DON'T FORGET
TO REMEMBER ME
4 BAR
BREAK
TONIGHT I FIND MYSELF
KNEELIN' BY THE BED
TO PRAY
I HAVEN'T DONE THIS
IN AWHILE
SO I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY
LORD I FEEL SO SMALL
SOMETIMES
IN THIS BIG OL' PLACE
YEAH I KNOW
THERE'S MORE
IMPORTANT THINGS
BUT DON'T FORGET
TO REMEMBER ME
DON'T FORGET
TO REMEMBER ME
