Collin Raye - A Bible and A Bus Ticket Home lyrics

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 going 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
