She said, "Call me when you get there"
+
My first time alone
+
Were my boot soles pressed the pedals
+
And both hands held the wheel
+
Finally on my own way
+
Riding 40 down the slow lane
+
As soon as I got parked
+
I kept my part of the deal
+
Hey, Ma, I made it down another open road
+
And even though I'm grown
+
Thought you might like to know
+
I got where I meant to go
+
And out here, one thing never changes
+
As long as I got wheels on the street
+
There's knees on the bedside praying
+
Waiting to hear, "Hey, Ma, I made it"
+
Suitcase by the screen door
+
Goodbye on the front porch
+
Bags and cardboard boxes
+
In the back seat of the car
+
First time crossing time zones
+
First time through Ohio
+
And I promised Mama
+
My phone works the same way from afar
+
Hey, Ma, I made it down another open road
+
And even though I'm grown
+
Thought you might like to know
+
I got where I meant to go
+
And out here, one thing never changes
+
As long as I got wheels on the street
+
There's knees on the bedside praying
+
Waiting to hear, "Hey, Ma, I made it"
+
Hey, Ma, I made it
+
Every show I ever played
+
Every state and every stage
+
I busted my as every day
+
'Til I can call and say
+
Hey, Ma, I made it down another open road
+
And even though I'm grown
+
Thought you might like to know
+
I got where I meant to go
+
And out here, one thing never changes
+
As long as I got wheels on the street
+
There's knees on the bedside praying
+
Waiting to hear, "Hey, Ma, I made it"
+
Hey, Ma, I made it
+
