Momma´s tears fell so easy

Daddy´s handshake was strong

Them I climbed aboard that Greyhound

Eighteen and glad to be gone



Took a rented room on Broadway

As I unpacked everything I owned

I found a note my momma left me

With a Bible and a bus ticket home

( It said )



Chorus :

One will get you where you´re going

When you haven´t got a prayer

And one will bring you back son

If your dreams ain´t waiting there

You´re out on your own now

We won´t be there to fall back on

But you know we´re never father

Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.



The years have come and gone and taken

The only thing in life I ever counted on

But I´m going back tomorrow

To lay flowers at their stone.



I can almost hear my momma calling

Saying son come back where you belong

You´ve got all you need to get there

A Bible and a bus ticket home



Repeat Chorus
