歌词：

18 years have come and gone
For momma they flew by
But for me they just drug on
We were loading up that Chevy
Both tryin\' not to cry
Momma kept on talking
Putting off good-bye
Then she took my hand and said
Baby don\'t forget
Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas
There\'s a 50 in ashtray
In case you run short on cash
Here\'s a map and here\'s a bible
If you ever loose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
Don\'t forget to remember me
This downtown apartment sure makes me miss home
and those bills there on the counter
Remind me I\'m on my own
And just like every Sunday I called momma up last night
And even when it\'s not, I tell her everything\'s alright
Before we hung up I said
Hey momma, don\'t forget to tell my baby sister I\'ll see her in the fall
And tell mee-mal that I miss her
Yeah, I should give her a call
And make sure you tell Daddy that I\'m still his little girl
Yeah I still feel like I\'m where I\'m supposed to be
Don\'t forget to remember me
Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray
I haven\'t done this in a while
So I don\'t know what to say but
Lord I feel so small some times in this big ol\' place
I know there are more important things, but
Don\'t forget to remember me
Don\'t forget to remember me

Carrie Underwood无疑是继Kelly Clarkson之后，“美国偶像大赛”培养出来的最受人瞩目的歌手。在今年5月份获得第四届“美国偶像大赛”冠军之后，Carrie Underwood成功与Arista公司签约，筹划多日的首张个人专辑《Some Hearts》也终于在11月15日推出。专辑在发行首周以31万5千张的佳绩名列本周Billboard专辑榜次席，仅次于老辣的Madonna的新作《Confessions on a Dance Floor》。
作为最新一届美国偶像冠军，今年22岁的Carrie Underwood难免被拿来跟“身世”相同的“师姐”Kelly Clarkson相比较。Clarkson至今已拥有10首排在排行榜前十的单曲，而两张专辑都在专辑榜的前五名中，其中首张个人专辑《Thankful》还在2003年摘得Billboard专辑榜桂冠。跟“师姐”相比，小一岁的Carrie Underwood才刚踏上了自己的星路历程。
跟自己的偶像女歌手马蒂纳·麦克布莱德（Martina McBride）一样，Carrie Underwood也有着高亢有力的好嗓子，六月份发行的单曲《Inside Your Heaven》便一举获得Billboard单曲榜的冠军。Carrie Underwood在参加今年的美国偶像比赛的时候共演唱过Martina McBride，Rascal Flatts，菲斯·希尔（Faith Hill）和南方小鸡（the Dixie Chicks）等艺人的歌曲，而《Some Hearts》专辑中歌曲的风格跟她在比赛中所演唱的大致相同，是她最为喜爱和擅长的流行乡村音乐。另外，Carrie Underwood参与创作了专辑中的歌曲《I Ain't in Checotah Anymore》和《Before He Cheats》。本专辑中的主打单曲《Jesus Take the Wheel》在上榜两周之后，目前已近进入Billboard单曲榜前25位。Carrie Underwood在美国乡村音乐协会奖颁奖礼上演唱的正是这首歌曲。
唱功上佳的新“美国偶像”的这张个人首张专辑可以说是继Kelly Clarkson首张个人专辑之后，最好的一张“美国偶像”大赛歌手发行的专辑了。但不知道初出茅庐的Carrie Underwood是否能够拥有前辈的好运气。
