Jimmy Reno - Bus Ticket Home Lyrics



Jimmy Reno - Bus Ticket Home Lyrics




Mama'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 the 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 on their stone
I can almost hear my mama calling, Say, son, come back where you belong
You got all you need to get here, With the 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 can 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

Boy, you know we're never farther
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home

Mama'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 the 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 on their stone
I can almost hear my mama calling, Say, son, come back where you belong
You got all you need to get here, With the Bible and a bus ticket home

It said, One will get you where you're going, When you haven't got a prayer

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

Boy, you know we're never farther
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home
