Prodigal
I traveled far, far from homeSimply to find that there's nothing there's for meI took my daddy's moneyAnd spent it on what pleased meEveryone loved meThey kissed my dancing feetWe slept the daysAnd nights we roamed the streetsOne night we had a feastMy friends all looked to meWhen the bill cameMy empty wallet sighedJust like fools we ranSongtexteThey to another manAnd me to the furthest edge of townAnd here my memory failsIn my shame I criedI was bone weary and tired of my lifeDecided to go home and swallow all my prideBabe, the road back homeSeemed nearly twice as longAs when I left,But still my feet just flewA far off I saw my dadMy heavy heart it burnedBut he ran and kissed meOh love I don't deserveDad, I'll get to work,I'll prove that I can earnLike any other manBut he just laughed and said?Son, I thought you dead!You don't know my joy to have you home!?
