(intro 2x) D G

D              A/C#
18 years have come and gone
    Em7
For momma they flew by
        G
But for me they drug on and on
         D
We were loading up that Chevy
     A/C#
Both tryin' not to cry
Em7
Momma kept on talking
G
Putting off good-bye
          Em7              A
Then she took my hand and said
      G             A   D
Baby don't forget

G
Before you hit the highway
     D/F#
You better stop for gas
          Em7
There's a 50 in ashtray
        D/F#
In case you run short on cash
          G
Here's a map and here's a Bible
       Bm     A        G
If you ever loose your way
     Em7              D/F#        G
Just one more thing before you leave
         Em7       A      D
Don't forget to remember me

( D  G ) (x2)

      D                       A/C#
This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home
           Em7
and those bills there on the counter
             G
Keep telling me I'm on my own
     D                              A/C#
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
     G                 A   D
Hey momma, don't forget

    G                       D/F#
To tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall
         Em7
And tell mee-maw that I miss her
      D/F#
Yeah, I should give her a call
     G                                 Bm    A          G
And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girl
        Em7                D/F#                  G
Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
         Em7       A     G
Don't forget to remember me

( D/F# Em7 D/F#  G  A )

(A)        Bm                  G               D
Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray
           A              Bm
I haven't done this in a while
      G
So I don't know what to say but
D               A/C#            Cadd9            G
Lord I feel so small some times in this big ol' place
   Em7                  D/F#      G
I know there are more important things, but
         Em7       A     D   G
Don't forget to remember me
         Em7       A     D   G   D
Don't forget to remember me
