BIBLE AND A BUS TICKET HOME

(Craig Wiseman - James D. Hicks)

« © '93 Almo Music, ASCAP / On The Mantel Music, BMI »

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

I like Collin's version more than Hank's and the other one that I saw here though those were great too. I just love this version.

I love this song. Makes me think about my parents and how I headed out across the country as a young lady. 2000 miles away and this song transports me back home in an instant. Well done Colin and company!

My freakish step-brother managed to make the best pole dancer I’ve ever seen fall for him as he ran the Cupid Love System (search in Google). It’s bad but I wish I was joyful for him but I want such a pretty girl to fall for me. I’m totally envious. Does that make me a lousy person?

i just met author of this song. It is true story. He was broke and called home, and his momma told him , look in the bible. HE took the bus ticket and then he sold the song to this artist for 500...and had no rights to the song.
