Don't Forget to Remember Me - Carrie Underwood

Eighteen years had come and gone

For Momma they flew by

But for me they drug on and on

We were loadin' up that Chevy

Both tryin' not to cry

Momma kept on talkin', puttin' off goodbye

Then she took my hand and said

”Baby don't forget”

”Before you hit the highway

You better stop for gas

And there's a fifty in the ashtray

In case you run short on cash”

”Here's a map and here's a Bible

If you ever lose your way

Just one more thing before you leave

Don't forget to remember me”

This downtown apartment

Sure makes me miss home

And those bills there on the counter

Keep tellin' me I'm on my own

And just like every Sunday

I called Mama up last night

And even when it's not

I tell her everything's all right

Before we hung up I said

“Hey Mama don't forget”

”To tell my baby sister

I'll see her in the fall

And tell Mee-Mal that I miss her

Yeah I should give her a call”

”And make sure you tell daddy

That I'm still his little girl

Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be

But don't forget to remember me”

Tonight I find myself kneelin' by the bed to pray

I haven't done this in a while

So I don't know what to say

But Lord I feel so small sometimes

In this big old place

Yeah I know there's more important things

But don't forget to remember me

Don't forget to remember me
