A Modern Day Prodigal Son Lyrics - Modern Day Prodigal Son - Brantley Gilbert

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, cause I'm comin home 

'Cause I'm comin' home, but 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 

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, but like a modern day prodigal son 

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 

I need redemption, how bout forgiveness 

And I pray for open arms, be with me lord. 

cause I'm going home, but like a modern day prodigal son.
