Karaoké A Bible and a Bus Ticket Home Collin Raye

Mama's tears fell so easy

Daddy's handshake was strong

Then I climbed aboard that Greyhound

Eighteen and glad to be gone

Took a rented room on Broadway and as I unpacked everything I owned

I found a note my mama left me with a Bible and a bus ticket home

It said One will get you where you're goin' when you haven't got a prayer

And one will bring you back son if your dreams ain't waitin' there

You're out on your own now

We won't be there to fall back on

But you know we're never farther than a Bible and a bus ticket home

The years have come and gone and taken the only things in life

I ever counted on

But I'm goin' back tomorrow to lay flowers on their stone

I can almost hear my mama callin'

Sayin' Son come back where you belong

You've got all you need to get here

A Bible and a bus ticket home

It said One will get you where you're goin' when you haven't got a prayer

And one can bring you back son if your dreams ain't waitin' there

You're out on your own now

We won't be there to fall back on

But you know we're never farther than a Bible and a bus ticket home

Boy you know we're never farther than a Bible and a bus ticket home
