Confederate Railroad lyrics : "A Bible And A Bus Ticket Home"

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


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
