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

           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
