Modern Day Prodigal Son Brantley Gilbert
Capo on 1st 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 schoo[G]l
[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 foo[G]l
and one [F]reckless night just lookin' for my [C]whiskey
I found a [F]bible mama gave me and read a whi[G]le
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
lord I'm a renega[Am]de, a ramble[F]r
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 forgiveness
and I [C]pray for open [G]arms[F]
'cause I'm comin' [G]home, like a modern day prodig[Am]al son
[C]I had all of my things packed by early [F]mornin'
I left that [Am]bottle I'd lost right there on the [G]bathroom floor
[C]I stopped at a payphone and called back [F]home to mama
yeh she [Am]might not even talk after [G]all I've done
the phone [F]rang twice before I got [C]an answer
and mama [F]nearly dropped the phone [G]when she heard me say
I [F]said mama it's your son and will [Am]yall have me
she said son [C]you know I've longed for [G]this day
lo[Am]rd I'm a ren[F]egade, a rambler
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 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 prodig[Am]al son
lord I'm a renega[Am]de, a ramble[F]r
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 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 prodig[Am]al son
