Mama's tears fell so easy, daddy's handshake was strongAnd I climed aboard that Greyhound18, glad to be goneTook a rented room on Broadway and as I unpacked everything I ownedI found a note my mama left meWith a Bible and a Bus ticket homechorusIt said one will get you where you're goingWhen you haven't got a prayerAnd one can bring you back sonIf your dreams ain't waiting thereYou're out on you're own nowWe won't be there to fall back onBut you know we're never fartherThen a bible and a bus ticket homeThe years have come and gone and takenThe only things in life I ever counted onBut I'm going back tomorrowTo lay flowers on their stonesI can almost hear my mama callingSaying son come back where you belongYou've got all you need to get hereA bible and a bus ticket homechorussubmitted by Lisa
