D A/C#
18 years have come and gone
Em7
For momma they flew by
G
But for me they drug on and on
D
We were loading up that Chevy
A/C#
Both tryin’ not to cry
Em7
Momma kept on talking
G
Putting off good-bye
Em7 A
Then she took my hand and said
G A D
Baby don’t forget
G
Before you hit the highway
D/F#
You better stop for gas
Em7
There’s a 50 in ashtray
D/F#
In case you run short on cash
G
Here’s a map and here’s a Bible
Bm A G
If you ever loose your way
Em7 D/F# G
Just one more thing before you leave
Em7 A D
Don’t forget to remember me
D G (x2)
D A/C#
This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home
Em7
and those bills there on the counter
G
Keep telling me I’m on my own
D A/C#
And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night
Em7 G
And even when it’s not, I tell her everything’s alright
Em7 A
Before we hung up I said
G A D
Hey momma, don’t forget
G D/F#
To tell my baby sister I’ll see her in the fall
Em7
And tell mee-maw that I miss her
D/F#
Yeah, I should give her a call
G Bm A G
And make sure you tell Daddy that I’m still his little girl
Em7 D/F# G
Yeah I still feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be
Em7 A G
Don’t forget to remember me
D/F# Em7 D/F# G A
(A) Bm G D
Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray
A Bm
I haven’t done this in a while
G
So I don’t know what to say but
D A/C# Cadd9 G
Lord I feel so small some times in this big ol’ place
Em7 D/F# G
I know there are more important things, but
Em7 A D G
Don’t forget to remember me
Em7 A D G D
Don’t forget to remember me
