18 years have come and gone
For momma they flew by
But for me they just drug on
F
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
F
Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas
There's a 50 in ashtray
In case you run short on cash
P
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
F
This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home
and those bills there on the counter
cantelling me I'm on my own
P
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
F
to tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall
And tell mee-mal that I miss her
Yeah, I should give her a call
P
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
P
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
F
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
F+P
Don't forget to remember me
