[Verse 1] 18 years have come and gone; For momma they flew by But for me they drug on and on... We were loading up that Chevy Always trying not to cry Momma kept on talking... Putting off good-bye She took my hand and said: "Baby, don't forget... [Verse 2] 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... [Interlude] Just one more thing before you leave: Don't forget to remember me." [Verse 3] 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 is not, I tell her everything is alright Before we hung up I said "Hey mamma, don't forget: To tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall And tell Meemaw that I miss her And 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." [Verse 4] 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 world... Yeah, I know there are more important things But don't forget to remember me Don't forget to remember me."
