A Bible And A Bus Ticket Home lyrics

MommaÒ?s tears fell so easy
DaddyÒ?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 youÒ?re going
When you havenÒ?t got a prayer
And one will bring you back son
If your dreams ainÒ?t waiting there
YouÒ?re out on your own now
We wonÒ?t be there to fall back on
But you know weÒ?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 IÒ?m going back tomorrow
To lay flowers at their stone.

I can almost hear my momma calling
Saying son come back where you belong
YouÒ?ve got all you need to get there
A Bible and a bus ticket home

Repeat Chorus
