18 years have come and gone,
For momma they flew by,
But for me they drag on and on,
We were loading up that Chevy,
Both tryin' not to cry,
Momma kept on talking,
Putting off good-bye,
Then she took my hand and said:
"Baby, don't forget,"

"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 loose your way
Just one more thing before you leave...
Don't forget to remember me!"

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 mama up last night,
And even when it's not, I tell her everything's alright,
Before we hung up I said:
"Hey momma, don't forget..."

"To tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall,
And tell Mee-Moll that I miss her,
Yeah, 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
Don't forget to remember me!"

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 some times in this big ol' place
Yeah, I know there's more important things,
But don't forget to remember me...
Don't forget to remember me...
