A Bible and a Bus Ticket Home Lyrics

Momma's tears fell so easy
Daddy's handshake was strong
Them I climbed aboard that Greyhound
Eighteen and glad to be gone

Took a rented room on Broadway
As I unpacked everything I owned
I found a note my momma left me
With a Bible and a bus ticket home
( It said )


Chorus :
One will get you where you're going
When you haven't got a prayer
And one will bring you back son
If your 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 father
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.

The years have come and gone and taken
The only thing in life I ever counted on
But I'm oging back tomorrow
To lay flowers at their stone.

I can almost hear my momma calling
Saying son come back where you belong
You've got all you need to get there
A Bible and a bus ticket home

Repeat Chorus
