Prodigal Blues Lyrics - Charmed Life - Billy Idol

Ridin' my life, like a run-a-way train 

Moving from one track to that 

Howlin', cryin', screamin' at the moon 

Only my voice came back 

Only the echo came back 

When I was a boy 

Daddy told me, grow tall 

Yes and Billy don't crawl 

Taught me how to ride 

Set me out on my own and I never came back 

And yes, I'd do it again 

Oh, wouldn't you 

Yeah, I'd do it again 

A-huh, oh yeah 

Do it again, baby 

Wouldn't you? 

Remember when I lied 

Just when you needed me 

Now I sit alone and cry 

'Cos now I believe in mercy 

Remember when I lied 

Just when you needed me, baby 

I believe in mercy 

Ridin', walkin', lookin' so cool 

Guess I crossed over the borderline 

Treated like a dunce 

Who just can't read 

Did I fool me too? 

And yes, I'd do it again 

Oh, wouldn't you? 

Yes, I'd do it again 

Aha yeah, I'd do it again 

Baby, wouldn't you? 

Remember when I lied 

Just when you needed me 

Now I sit alone and cry 

'Cos now I believe in mercy 

Remember when I lied 

Now that you needed me 

Yes, I believe in mercy 

I said, "Come here" 

Look into my face 

And hear into my heart 

Hesitation could re-arrange 

The other side to your love 

Take hold now baby 

And take what 

Other lovers have not 

Times is changin' will they re-arrange 

The other side to your love 

No, woah, woah, woah, yeah 

Woo 

Come home 

Here he is impatient one 

Come home 

Come home 

Tell the story 

Come home 

Here he is 

The impatient one 

Come home 

To claim a glory 

Prodigal son 

Come home 

Prodigal bum 

Come home 

Prodigal son 

Prodigal son 

Come home 

To claim a glory 

Prodigal son 

Come home 

Prodigal bum 

Here he comes 

Yeah, that prodigal son 

Ooh, he's the one 

To tell his story 

C'mon to tell his story 

C'mon to tell his story 

C'mon to claim his glory 

Prodigal son
