Don't Forget to Remember Me

Eighteen years had come and gone For mama they flew by But for me they drug on and on We were loading up that Chevy Both tryin' not to cry Mama kept on talking Putting off goodbye Then she took my hand and said "Baby, don't forget Before you hit the highway You better stop for gas There's a fifty in the ashtray In case you run short on cash Here's a map, and here's a Bible If you ever lose 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 all right Before we hung up I said "Hey mama, don't forget To tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall And tell Me-maw 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 But 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 sometimes 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 --- Don't Forget to Remember Me - Carrie Underwood
