A Bible A Bus Ticket Home lyrics

(craig wiseman/james dean hicks)



Mammas tears fell so easy

Daddys handshake was strong

Then I climbed aboard that greyhound

Eighteen and glad to be gone



Took a rented room on broadway

As I unpacked everything I owed

I found a note my mamma left me

With a Bible and a bus ticket home (it said)



One will get you where youre going

When you havent got a prayer

And one will bring you back son

If youre dreams aint waiting there

Youre out on your own now

We wont be there to fall back on

But you know were never farther

Than 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 Im going back tomorrow

To lay flowers on their stone.



I can almost hear my mamma calling

Saying son come back where you belong

Youve got all you need to get here

A Bible and a bus ticket home



One will get you where youre going

When you havent got a prayer

And one will bring you back son

If youre dreams aint waiting there

Youre out on your own now

We wont be there to fall back on

But you know were never farther

Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.
