 D                   A 
18 years have come and gone  
 
         Em7          
For momma they flew by  
 
           G       
But for me they just drug on and on 
 
               D 
We were loading up that Chevy  
 
         A 
Both tryin' not to cry  
 
    Em7 
Momma kept on talking  
 
   G 
But not good bye  
 
                Em                       A 
Then she took my hand and said  
 
         Em       A    F#m-G
Baby don't forget  
 
  G 
Before you hit the highway  
 
       D 
You better stop for gas  
 
              Em 
There's a 50 in ashtray  
 
            D 
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  
 
        Em                   F#m         G 
Just one more thing before you leave  
 
             Em           A      D  Bm  D-Bm
Don't forget to remember me  
        D                                    A 
Heres downtown apartment sure makes me miss home  
 
              Em7                   
and those bills there on the counter  
 
          G 
are telling me I'm on my own  
 
        D                                              A 
And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night  
 
         Em                                         G 
And even when it's not, I tell her everything's alright  
 
           Em               A 
Before we hung up I said  
 
          Em               A 
Hey momma, don't forget  
 
 F#m G                          D 
to tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall  
 
             Em 
And tell me-ma that I miss her  
 
               D 
Yeah, I should give her a call  
 
        Em                                            Bm       A      G 
And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girl  
 
            Em                    F#m                       G 
Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be  
 
             Em       A          G            (INSTR.  D Em Em F#m G A)
Don't forget to remember me  
 
 
              Bm                          G                D
Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray  
 
        A                       Bm
I haven't done this in a while 
 
       Em 
So I don't know what to say but  
 
 D                  A                      C                    G
Lord I feel so small some times in this big ol' place  
 
     Em                         F#m        G 
I know there are more important things, but  
          Em             A            D  Bm
Don't forget to remember me  2X            D Bm   D
