Don't Forget To Remember Me

Written By: Ashley Gorley, Morgane Hayes, Kelley Lovelace


18 years had come and gone 
For momma they flew by 
But for me they dragged 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 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's all right 
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 me-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 sometimes in this big ol' place 
Yeah, I know theres more important things, but 
Don't forget to remember me 
Don't forget to remember me
