Capo on 1st fret

C majorC                       FF
I set out one night in the fast lane bound for freedom
      A minorAm
in a truck that daddy bought me
                 G+G
and money mom had saved for school

C majorC                     FF
I laid down all my books and picked up the drinking
    A minorAm
hell I let 'em down
             G+G
when i gave up like a fool

    FF                 C majorC
and one reckless night just lookin' for my whiskey
     FF                G+G
I found a bible mama gave me and read a while
 FF                    A minorAm
I read a story 'bout a man who lived just like me
       C majorC               G+G
then finally ate his pride and came runnin' home

         A minorAm     FF
lord I'm a renegade, a rambler
   C majorC          G+G
I've squandered all I've owned
      A minorAm       FF
a bonified runaway, I'm a gambler
   C majorC          G+G
can't count the lies I've told
      A minorAm
and I need redemption, how 'bout forgiveness
   C majorC       G+G          FF
and I pray for open arms
         G+G               A minorAm
'cause I'm comin' home, like a modern day prodigal son

C majorC                   FF
I had all of my things packed by early mornin'
      A minorAm                 G+G
I left that bottle I'd lost right there on the bathroom floor
C majorC                    FF
I stopped at a payphone and called back home to mama
    A minorAm            G+G
yeh she might not even talk after all I've done

     FF            C majorC
the phone rang twice before I got an answer
     FF            G+G
and mama nearly dropped the phone when she heard me say
 FF                A minorAm
I said mama it's your son and will yall have me
       C majorC            G+G
she said son you know I've longed for this day

 A minorAm     FF
lord I'm a renegade, a rambler
   C majorC          G+G
I've squandered all I've owned
      A minorAm       FF
a bonified runaway, I'm a gambler
   C majorC          G+G
can't count the lies I've told
      A minorAm
and I need redemption, how 'bout forgiveness
   C majorC       G+G          FF
and I pray for open arms, and be with me lord
         G+G               A minorAm
'cause I'm comin' home, like a modern day prodigal son


         A minorAm     FF
lord I'm a renegade, a rambler
   C majorC          G+G
I've squandered all I've owned
      A minorAm       FF
a bonified runaway, I'm a gambler
   C majorC          G+G
can't count the lies I've told
      A minorAm
and I need redemption, how 'bout forgiveness
   C majorC       G+G          FF
and I pray for open arms, and be with me lord
         G+G               A minorAm
'cause I'm comin' home, like a modern day prodigal son
