Letra de A Bible and A Bus Ticket Home

Mamma'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 As I unpacked everything I owed I found a note my mamma 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 you're 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. 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. 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 One will get you where you're going When you haven't got a prayer And one will bring you back son If you're 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.
