Momma´s tears fell so easy
Daddy´s handshake was strong
Them I climbed aboard that Greyhound
Eighteen and glad to be gone
Took a rented room on Broadway
As I unpacked everything I owned
I found a note my momma left me
With a Bible and a bus ticket home
( It said )
Chorus :
One will get you where you´re going
When you haven´t got a prayer
And one will bring you back son
If your dreams ain´t waiting there
You´re out on your own now
We won´t be there to fall back on
But you know we´re never father
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.
The years have come and gone and taken
The only thing in life I ever counted on
But I´m going back tomorrow
To lay flowers at their stone.
I can almost hear my momma calling
Saying son come back where you belong
You´ve got all you need to get there
A Bible and a bus ticket home
Repeat Chorus
