Mama's tears fell so easy, daddy's handshake was strong
And I climed aboard that Greyhound
18, glad to be gone
Took a rented room on Broadway and as I unpacked everything I owned
I found a note my mama left me
With a Bible and a Bus ticket home
chorus
It said one will get you where you're going
When you haven't got a prayer
And one can bring you back son
If your dreams ain't waiting there
You're out on you're own now
We won't be there to fall back on
But you know we're never farther
Then a bible and a bus ticket home
The years have come and gone and taken
The only things in life I ever counted on
But I'm going back tomorrow
To lay flowers on their stones
I can almost hear my mama calling
Saying son come back where you belong
You've got all you need to get here
A bible and a bus ticket home
chorus
