Don't Forget to Remember Me

Another song sung by Carrie Underwood that ministered to me.
It is about a young girl who left her family when she was 18 years old to make it in life in the city. Before she left home, her mother gave her some advise.
After some time, when things got rough and bad, she knelt down and prayed which she had not done for some time and came back to God.

18 years have come and gone
For momma they flew by
But for me they drug on and on
We were loading up that Chevy
Both tryin' not to cry
Momma kept on talking
Putting off good-bye

Then she took my hand and said
'Baby don't forget
Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas
There's a 50 in the ashtray
In case you run short on cash
Here's a map and here's a Bible
If you ever lose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
Don't forget to remember me

'This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home
And those bills there on the counter
Keep telling me I'm on my own
And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night
And even when it's not, I tell her everything's alright
Before we hung up I said
'Hey momma, don't forget to tell my baby sister
I'll see her in the fall
And tell mee-ma that I miss her
Yeah, I should give her a call
And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girl
Yeah, I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
Don't forget to remember me

'Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray
I haven't done this in a while
So I don't know what to say
But Lord I feel so small sometimes in this big ol' place
Yeah, I know there are more important things
But don't forget to remember me
But don't forget to remember me'
