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 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-ma 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 sometimes 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
