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
