18 years have come and gone

For momma they flew by

But for me they just drug 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 ashtray

In case you run short on cash

Here's a map and here's a bible

If you ever loose 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

And tell 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-mal 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
