BIBLE AND A BUS TICKET HOME
(Craig Wiseman - James D. Hicks)

Momma'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 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 farther than a Bible and a bus ticket home
[ mandolin ]
The years have come and gone and taken the only things in life I ever counted on
But I'm going back tomorrow to lay flowers at their stone
I can almost hear my mama calling saying 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...
Boy you know we're never farther than a Bible and a bus ticket home
