Mama put a Bible in my glove box
And a hot homemade apple pie on the passenger? s seat
She said,? You? ll always be my baby?
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
[From: http://www.elyrics.net]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 I'm 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
