A BIBLE AND A BUS TICKET HOME Collin Raye
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Mamma s tears fell so easy Daddy s handshake was strong. . .
Then I climbed aboard that Greyhound Eighteen and glad to be gone.
[Verse 2]
Took a rented room on Broadway As I unpacked everything I owned.
I found a note my mamma left me With a Bible and a bus ticket home.
[CHORUS]
It Said, [SPOKEN]
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.
[Verse 3]
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 on their stone.
[Verse 4]
I can almost hear my mamma calling Saying, son come back where you
belong. . .
You ve got all you need to get here A Bible and a bus ticket home.
[CHORUS]
It said, [SPOKEN]
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.
[Outro]
Boy, you know we re never farther. . .
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.
