18 Years have come and gone
     Em7
For momma they flew by
       G
But for me they just drug on and on
        D
We were loading up that Chevy
      A
Both tryin' not to cry
  Em7
Momma kept on talking
 G
Putting off good-bye
         Em7            A
Then she took my hand and said
     Em7       D - G
Baby don't forget
 G
Before you hit the highway
    D
You better stop for gas
         Em7
There's a 50 in ashtray
       D
In case you run short on cash
         G
Here's a map and here's a bible
        Em7  D        G
If you ever loose your way
     Em7             D        G
Just one more thing before you leave
         Em7      A    D
Don't forget to remember me
     D                    A
This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home
        Em7
And those bills there on the counter
       G
Are telling me I'm on my own
     D                              A
And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night
     Em7                           G
And even when it's not, I tell her everything's alright
      Em7         A
Before we hung up I said
          Em7      D - G
Hey momma, don't forget
    G                      D
To tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall
         Em7
And tell mema that I miss her
    D
Yeah, I should give her a call
    G                               Em7        D       G
And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girl
        Em7                           D        G
Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
         Em7      A      D
Don't forget to remember me
G                            D
Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray
           Em7
I haven't done this in a while
            Em7
So I don't know what to say but
 D             Em7            G      D     Em7
Lord I feel so small some times in this big ol' place
    Em7                 D        G
I know there are more important things, but
       Em7       A      D
Don't forget to remember me
