Brantley Gilbert - Modern Day Prodigal Son Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  C I set out one night in the fast lane bound for F freedom

 in a truck Am that daddy bought me

 and money mom had saved for school G

  C I laid down all my books and picked up the F drinking

 hell I Am let 'em down

 when i gave up like a fool G

 and one F reckless night just lookin' for my C whiskey

 I found a F bible mama gave me and read a G while

 I F read a story 'bout a man who lived just Am like me

 then finally C ate his pride and came runnin' G home

 and lord I'm A renegade Am , A rambler F

 I've C squandered all I've G owned

A bonified Am runaway, I'm A F gambler

 can't C count the lies I've G told

 and I need AM redemption, how 'bout F forgiveness

 and I C pray for open G arms, and be with me F lord

 'cause I'm comin' G home, like a modern day prodigal AM 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
