A Modern Day Prodigal Son |
I set out one night in the fast lane bound for freedom |
in a truck that daddy bought me and money mom had saved for school |
I laid down all my books and picked up the drinking |
hell I let 'em down |
when i gave up like a fool |
and one reckless night just lookin’for my whiskey |
I found a bible mama gave me and read a while |
I read a story 'bout a man who lived just like me then finally ate his pride and came runnin’home |
and lord I’m a renegade, a rambler |
I’ve squandered all I’ve owned |
a bonified runaway, I’m a gambler |
can’t count the lies I’ve told |
and I need redemption, how 'bout forgiveness |
and I pray for open arms, and be with me lord |
'cause I’m comin’home, like a modern day prodigal son |
I had all of my things packed by early mornin' |
I left that bottle I’d lost right there on the bathroom floor |
I stopped at a payphone and called back home to mama |
yeh she might not even talk after all I’ve done |
the phone rang twice before I got an answer |
and mama nearly dropped the phone when she heard me say |
I said mama it’s your son and will yall have me she said son you know I’ve longed for this day |
-Chorus Again 2x- |
