Lyrics
My Momma told me I would be alright
On my first bus ride
She took my hand and squeezed it
a couple more times
and kissed me goodbye
Somethin' 'bout that day
I knew was gonna change me
The cold wind pushed me along
and I heard Momma say...
I'll keep a fire burning
I'll have a joke just waiting here
And I'll keep my arms wide open
Those days past me so fast
and now I'm looking back
on photographs
Oh God they make me smile
My new place really looks great
Momma doesn't like me so far away
But she said "Go get the world"
Somethin' 'bout that day
I knew was gonna change me
The cold wind whispered along
while I heard Momma say...
I'll keep a fire burning
I'll have a joke just waiting here
And I'll keep my arms wide open
Time changes everything
Just yesterday she had to say goodbye
Something about that day
I knew what gonna change me
but I heard her say....
I'll keep a fire burning
I'll have a joke just waiting here
And I'll keep my arms wide open
