Modern Day Prodigal Son

artist : brantley gilbert song : modern day prodigal son album : modern day prodigal son capo on 1st fret C F i set out one night in the fast lane bound for freedom Am in a truck that Daddy bought me G and money mom had saved for school C F i laid down all my books and picked up the drinking Am hell i let ’em down G when i gave up like a fool F C and one reckless night just lookin’ for my whiskey F G i found a bible mama gave me and read a while F Am i read a story ’bout a man who lived just like me C G then finally ate his pride and came runnin’ home Am F lord i’m a renegade , a rambler C G i’ve squandered all i’ve owned Am F a bonified runaway , i’m a gambler C G can’t count the lies i’ve told Am and i need redemption , how ’bout forgiveness C G F and i pray for open arms G Am ’cause i’m comin’ home , like a modern day prodigal son C F i had all of my things packed by early mornin’ Am G i left that bottle i’d lost right there on the bathroom floor C F i stopped at a payphone and called back home to mama Am G yeh she might not even talk after all i’ve done F C the phone rang twice before i got an answer F G and mama nearly dropped the phone when she heard me say F Am i said mama it’s your son and will yall have me C G she said son you know i’ve longed for this day Am F lord i’m a renegade , a rambler C G i’ve squandered all i’ve owned Am F a bonified runaway , i’m a gambler C G can’t count the lies i’ve told Am and i need redemption , how ’bout forgiveness C G F and i pray for open arms , and be with me lord G Am ’cause i’m comin’ home , like a modern day prodigal son Am F lord i’m a renegade , a rambler C G i’ve squandered all i’ve owned Am F a bonified runaway , i’m a gambler C G can’t count the lies i’ve told Am and i need redemption , how ’bout forgiveness C G F and i pray for open arms , and be with me lord G Am ’cause i’m comin’ home , like a modern day prodigal son
