capo first fret

(C) I set out one night in the fast lane bound for (F) freedom

in a truck (Am) that daddy bought me

and money mom had saved for school (G)

(C)I laid down all my books and picked up the (F)drinking

hell I (Am)let 'em down

when i gave up like a fool (G)

and one (F)reckless night just lookin' for my (C)whiskey

I found a (F)bible mama gave me and read a (G)while

I (F)read a story 'bout a man who lived just (Am)like me

then finally (C)ate his pride and came runnin'(G) home

and lord I'm A renegade(AM), A rambler(F)
I've (C)squandered all I've (G)owned

A bonified (AM)runaway, I'm A (F)gambler
can't (C)count the lies I've (G)told

and I need (AM)redemption, how 'bout (F)forgiveness

and I (C)pray for open (G)arms, and be with me (F)lord

'cause I'm comin' (G)home, like a modern day prodigal (AM)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
