My way back

My way back Lyrics

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 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 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 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 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 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 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
