A Bible And A Bus Ticket Home Lyrics - Collin Raye

Mamma's tears fell so easy 

Daddy's handshake was strong 

Then I climbed aboard that Greyhound 

Eighteen and glad to be gone 

Took a rented room on broadway 

As I unpacked everything I owed 

I found a note my mamma left me 

With a Bible and a bus ticket home (It said)

One will get you where you're going 

When you haven't got a prayer 

And one will bring you back son 

If you're dreams ain't waiting there 

You're out on your own now 

We won't be there to fall back on 

But you know we're never farther 

Than a Bible and a bus ticket home. 

The years have come and gone and taken 

The only things in life I ever counted on 

But I'm going back tomorrow 

To lay flowers on their stone. 

I can almost hear my mamma calling 

Saying son come back where you belong 

You've got all you need to get here 

A Bible and a bus ticket home
