mama put a bible in my glove box and a hot homemade apple pie on the passenger 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 traveling cash And a map with a highlighted route on the dash. And i realized as i looked back that They werent just saying goodbye They werent just seeing me off They were just making sure that i Dont forget where i from Go out there and do you're family proud son Mama loved and daddy worked Gave their lives just to make sure I know my way back home I can still smell mamas kitchen And feel every single breathe She says for me. I point these wheels towards that sunset Without a fear without a doubt Daddy says go get that dream Left behind a pie crumb trail In case I get lost, fall flat or fail And if the wind should leave my sail. They werent just saying goodbye They werent just seeing me off They were just making sure that i Dont forget where i from Go out there and do you're family proud son Mama loved and daddy worked Gave 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 a love that's always waiting After being gone too long They werent just saying goodbye They werent just seeing me off They were just making sure that i Dont forget where i from Go out there and do you're family proud son Mama loved and daddy worked Gave their lives just to make sure I know my way back home I always know I always know My way back home. My way back home. My way back home.
