I took a million turns
down that jolly road of life.
I wound up on a dirt road
turned to mud.
I was rooting like a pig
my life was full of sun.
I am a Prodigal Son.

I tried the end around,
I threw the long bomb.
Life sacked me
Way back on the one.
I got Jesus in the huddle,
We’re going down the middle.
Follow Me My Prodigal Son.

Chorus

Jesus guide my foot steps,
Jesus drive my car.
You are my number one.
I got the GPS a running,
Lord I’m a coming
I am your Prodigal Son.

Solo

Keep your hands to the plow,
Let Jesus show you how.
He can get it done.
Take the time to pray,
Read your bible everyday.
I am a Prodigal Son.

Chorus

When temptation comes along,
Just sing this song.
And don’t do the things I have done.
Just remember the ten rules,
You learned in Sunday school.
And don’t be a Prodigal Son.
