Lyrics
The Prodigal
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He was running down the road
Found his freedom on the highway
Couldn't be sure, couldn't be sure where he was going
Hopped on Greyhound to L. A., where the spotlights and the music plays
Couldn't be sure, couldn't be sure where he was going
He is an outlaw, and he's proud to reveal
He doesn’t need no one, he does what he feels
He's just a fool, you see, by breaking all the rules he's sinking deeper everyday
He is just a prodigal and needs to come home
He is just a prodigal and needs to come home
Spending money, wasting time
He lost all he believes in ash and in wine
You could be sure, you could be sure, he's having a good time
Now the months are passing by, all his money is gone, and he can see it’s a lie
You can be sure, you can be sure, he's feeling sorry
He is an outlaw, and he's proud to reveal
He doesn’t need no one, he does what he feels
He's just a fool, you see, by breaking all the rules he's sinking deeper everyday
He is just a prodigal and needs to come home
He is just a prodigal and needs to come home
From the alley where he lives, scared and broken, you could hear him say
I’ve been a fool, playing it cool, doing it my way
Father’s arms are open wide, said
I love you my son and you’re welcome
He cried
You can be sure, you can be sure, there was rejoicing
He was an outlaw, and he was proud to reveal
He didn’t need no one, he did what he feels
That's all behind him now and home’s where you'll find him now, and
Holy’s where we'll stay
He was a prodigal but now he's come home
He was a prodigal but now he's come home
