My Way Back
Homeward Bound Heart: A Journey of Love and Legacy
Lyrics
Mama put a bible in my glove box
Mama placed a Bible in my glove box
And a hot homemade apple pie on the passenger's seat
A homemade apple pie on the passenger's seat
She said â??You'll always be my babyâ??
Mama expresses, "You'll always be my baby"
Then she planted a kiss and a couple of tears on my cheek
She kisses and sheds tears on my cheek
Dad slipped me some travelin' cash
Dad gives me travel money
And a map with a highlighted route on the dash
Provides a map with a highlighted route
and I realized as I looked back that
Reflecting, I realize the significance
They weren't just sayin' good bye
Parents bid farewell with deeper meaning
There weren't just seein' me off
Not just a departure, but ensuring my success
There were just makin' sure that I
Emphasis on remembering my roots
Don't forget where I'm from
Instructions to not forget my origins
Go out there and do your family proud son
Encouragement to make the family proud
Mama loved and daddy worked
Mama loved, daddy worked diligently
Lived their lives just to make sure I know my way back home
Lived to ensure I find my way back home
I can still smell mama's kitchen
Nostalgia of mama's kitchen remains
And feel every single prayer she says for me
Feeling the impact of her prayers
I can point these wheels towards that sunset
Heading toward the sunset without fear
With a out a fear without a doubt
Confidently pursuing dreams left behind
Daddy says go get that dream
Daddy's advice to chase that dream
I left behind a pie crumb trail
Leaving a trail of pie crumbs in case of failure
Just in case I get lost, fall flat, or fail
Prepared for getting lost, falling, or failing
And if the wind should leave my sail
Even if challenges arise, support persists
They weren't just sayin' good bye
Parents' farewell holds profound meaning
There weren't just seein' me off
More than a goodbye, it's a meaningful departure
There were just makin' sure that I
Ensuring I remember my roots and values
Don't forget where I'm from
Instructions to make the family proud
Go out there and do your family proud son
Encouragement to succeed on my journey
Mama loved and daddy worked
Parents sacrificed to guide me home
Lived their lives just to make sure I know my way
Back to that door that's always open
A light always on, symbolizing eternal love
And that light that's always on
Love waiting after prolonged absence
To the love that's always waiting
Guidance back home after being away
After bein' gone too long
They weren't just sayin' goodbye
Departure signifies a deeper commitment
They weren't just seein' me off
Making sure I remember where I come from
There were just makin' sure that I don't forget where from
Emphasis on family pride and legacy
Go out there and do your family proud son
Encouragement to make them proud
Mama loved and daddy worked,
Parents sacrificed for my well-being
Gave their lives just to make sure I know
Ensuring I always remember my roots
I always know
Constant awareness of my way back home
I always know my way back home
My way back home
My path back home is always known
My way back home
Repeated assurance of my way back home
