My Way Back Lyrics - Songs About Me - Trace Adkins

Mama put a bible in my glove box 

And a hot homemade apple pie on the passenger's seat 

She said â??You'll always be my babyâ?? 

Then she planted a kiss and a couple of tears on my cheek 

Dad slipped me some travelin' cash 

And a map with a highlighted route on the dash 

and I realized as I looked back that 

They weren't just sayin' good bye 

There weren't just seein' me off 

There were just makin' sure that I 

Don't forget where I'm from 

Go out there and do your family proud son 

Mama loved and daddy worked 

Lived their lives just to make sure I know my way back home 

I can still smell mama's kitchen 

And feel every single prayer she says for me 

I can point these wheels towards that sunset 

With a out a fear without a doubt 

Daddy says go get that dream 

I left behind a pie crumb trail 

Just in case I get lost, fall flat, or fail 

And if the wind should leave my sail 

They weren't just sayin' good bye 

There weren't just seein' me off 

There were just makin' sure that I 

Don't forget where I'm from 

Go out there and do your family proud son 

Mama loved and daddy worked 

Lived their lives just to make sure I know my way 

Back to that door that's always open 

And that light that's always on 

To the love that's always waiting 

After bein' gone too long 

They weren't just sayin' goodbye 

They weren't just seein' me off 

There were just makin' sure that I don't forget where from 

Go out there and do your family proud son 

Mama loved and daddy worked, 

Gave their lives just to make sure I know 

I always know 

I always know my way back home 

My way back home 

My way back home
