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".

Hey, ma, I made it.
