[G] [C]
[G] [D] Mama's tears [G] fell so easy, Daddy's [C] handshake was strong
Then I climbed [D] aboard that grey Hell 18 glad to [G] be gone
Took a [D] rented room on Broadway And as I unpacked everything [C] I owned
I [Am] found a note my [D] mama left me With a Bible and a bus [G] ticket home
It said, one will get you [C] where you're going When you haven't [G] got a prayer
And one will [D] bring you back, son If your dreams ain't [G] waiting there
You're out [C] on your own now We won't be there to [G] fall back home
But you know we're [Am] never farther [C] Than a [D] Bible and a bus [G] ticket home
[C]
[G] [D] The years have come and [G] gone and taken The only things in life I ever [C] counted on
But I'm going [D] back tomorrow To lay flowers [G] on their stone
I can almost hear my mama calling Saying, son, come back where [C] you belong
You've got all you [D] need to get here A Bible and a bus [G] ticket home
It said, one will get you [C] where you're going When you haven't [G] got a prayer
And one can [D] bring you back, son If your dreams ain't [G] waiting there
You're out [C] on your own now We won't be there to [G] fall back home
But you know we're [Am] never farther [C] Than a Bible and a bus [G] ticket home
Boy, you know we're [Am] never farther [C] Than a Bible and a bus [G] ticket home
