Eighteen years had 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 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 tellin' 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 Yeah I know there are more important things, but Don't forget to remember me Don't forget to remember me
