She said, "Call me when you get there"
My first time alone
Were my boot soles pressed the pedals
And both hands held the wheel
Finally on my own way
Riding 40 down the slow lane
As soon as I got parked
I kept my part of the deal
Hey, Ma, I made it down another open road
And even though I'm grown
Thought you might like to know
I got where I meant to go
And out here, one thing never changes
As long as I got wheels on the street
There's knees on the bedside praying
Waiting to hear, "Hey, Ma, I made it"
Suitcase by the screen door
Goodbye on the front porch
Bags and cardboard boxes
In the back seat of the car
First time crossing time zones
First time through Ohio
And I promised Mama
My phone works the same way from afar
Hey, Ma, I made it down another open road
And even though I'm grown
Thought you might like to know
I got where I meant to go
And out here, one thing never changes
As long as I got wheels on the street
There's knees on the bedside praying
Waiting to hear, "Hey, Ma, I made it"
Hey, Ma, I made it
Every show I ever played
Every state and every stage
I busted my as every day
'Til I can call and say
Hey, Ma, I made it down another open road
And even though I'm grown
Thought you might like to know
I got where I meant to go
And out here, one thing never changes
As long as I got wheels on the street
There's knees on the bedside praying
Waiting to hear, "Hey, Ma, I made it"
