18 years have come nd 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 hards nd 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 nd 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
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 is 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 Memaw that I miss her
Yeah, I should give her a call
And make sure u tell daddy that
I'm still his little girl
Yeah ,I still feel like im where I'm
Suppose 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 to say but
Lord I feel so small sometimes 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...
