Songs About Me

Mama put a bible in my glove box
 And a hot homemade apple pie on the passenger’s seat
 She said “You’ll always be my baby”
 Then she planted a kiss and a couple of tears on my cheek
 Dad slipped me some travelin cash
 And a map with a highlighted route on the dash 
 and I realized as I looked back that..


 They weren’t just sayin’ good bye
 There weren’t just seein’ me off 
 There were just makin’ sure that I 
 Don’t forget where I’m from 
 Go out there and do your family proud son
 Mama loved and daddy worked
 Lived their lives just to make sure I know my way back home


 I can still smell mama’s kitchen
 And feel every single prayer she says for me
 I can point these wheels towards that sunset
 Without a fear without a doubt
 Daddy says go get that dream
 I left behind a pie crumb trail 
 Just in case I get lost, fall flat, or fail
 And if the wind should leave my sail


 They weren’t just sayin’ good bye
 There weren’t just seein’ me off 
 There were just makin’ sure that I 
 Don’t forget where I’m from 
 Go out there and do your family proud son
 Mama loved and daddy worked
 Lived their lives just to make sure I know my way……


 Back to that door that’s always open
 And that light that’s always on
 To the love that’s always waiting
 After bein' gone too long


 They weren’t just sayin' goodbye
 They weren’t just seein' me off
 There were just makin' sure that I don’t forget where I'm from
 Go out there and do your family proud son
 Mama loved and daddy worked, 
 Gave their lives just to make sure I know
 I always know
 I always know my way back home 
 My way back home 
 My way back home
