Bible And A Bus Ticket Home Lyrics - Singles - Raye Collin

Mama's tears fell so easy, daddy's handshake was strong 

And I climed aboard that Greyhound 

18, glad to be gone 

Took a rented room on Broadway and as I unpacked everything I owned 

I found a note my mama left me 

With a Bible and a Bus ticket home 

chorus 

It said one will get you where you're going 

When you haven't got a prayer 

And one can bring you back son 

If your dreams ain't waiting there 

You're out on you're own now 

We won't be there to fall back on 

But you know we're never farther 

Then 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 stones 

I can almost hear my mama calling 

Saying son come back where you belong 

You've got all you need to get here 

A bible and a bus ticket home 

chorus
