Trace Adkins - My Way Back lyrics

Momma put a Bible in my glove box

A hot homemade apple pie on the passenger seat

She said you'll always be my baby

And she planted a kiss

And a couple tears on my cheek

Dad slipped me some travelin' cash

Threw a map with a highlighted route on the dash

And I realize, as I look back, that

They weren't just saying goodbye

They weren't just seeing me off

They were just making sure that I

Don't forget where I'm from

Go out there and do your family proud son

Momma loved and Daddy worked

And lived their lives just to make sure I know

My way back home

I can still smell Momma's kitchen

And feel every single prayer she says for me

I can point these wheels toward that sunset

Without a fear, without a doubt,

Daddy says, ‘Go for that dream’

I left behind a pie-crumb trail

Just in case I get lost, fall flat, or fail

And if the wind should leave my sail

They weren't just saying goodbye

They weren't just seeing me off

They were just making sure that I

Don't forget where I'm from

Go out there and do your family proud son

Momma loved and Daddy worked

And 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 being gone too long

They weren't just saying goodbye

They weren't just seeing me off

They were just making sure that I

Don't forget where I'm from

Go out there and do your family proud son

Momma loved and Daddy worked

And lived 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
