My Way Back

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.
