Don't Forget to Remember Me

18 years had come and gone, for mama, they flew by
 But for me, they drug on and on
 We were loading up that Chevy, both tryin' not to cry
 Mama kept on talking, putting off goodbye
 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 mama up last night
 And even when it's not, I tell her everything's alright
 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 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
 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 ol' place
 Yeah, I know there's more important things
 But don't forget to remember me
 Don't forget to remember me
