Brantley Gilbert - A Modern Day Prodigal Son lyrics

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, and be with me lord 'Cause I'm comin' home, 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 [Chorus 2x]
