Don't Forget To Remember Me
Lyrics:
[English]
(gentle country music)
♪ 18 years have come and gone ♪
♪ For mama they flew by ♪
♪ But for me they drug on and on ♪
♪ We were loading up that Chevy ♪
♪ Both trying not to cry ♪
♪ Mama kept on talking ♪
♪ Putting off good-bye ♪
♪ And 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 Mama up last night ♪
♪ And even when it's not, I tell her everything's all right ♪
♪ Before we hung up, I said ♪
♪ Hey mama, don't forget ♪
♪ To tell my baby sister, I'll see her in the fall ♪
♪ And tell Meemaw 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 ♪
♪ But 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 old place ♪
♪ Yeah, I know there's more important things ♪
♪ But don't forget to remember me ♪
♪ Don't forget to remember me ♪
