prodigal son Lyrics

A camel pack at midnight

From MAPCO down the road

You always swore that you were quitting

What fools you made us both

You leave me, March is over

Blue moons, the twelve pack cans

The loss of me your revelation

Your songs, a payment plan

You idolize the lyrics

Of men in leather coats

And you adore sheep clothing

You love their parables

I call from the five thousand

I beg to touch the cloak

You are the hometown hero

I am the girl at home

And don't you wish that you were

The saint you claim to be

And don't you leave and call it

A god-given prophecy

And when will I learn to not

Call pain love?

When will I stop falling for

The prodigal son

The prodigal son

Another lapse in judgment

Another change of plan

I'd lie to save your reputation

I'd die to hold your hand

Throw out the kitchen photos

Call me my given name

Revise the wills and antecedents

Tell them re-dig the graves

The years turn into benchmarks

Of time to overrule

I am your best transgression

I am your finest fool

And don't you wish that you were

The saint you claim to be

And don't you leave and call it

A god-given prophecy

And when will I learn to not

Call pain love?

When will I stop falling for

The prodigal son

The prodigal son

And don't you wish that you were

The saint you claim to be

And don't you leave and call it

Your god-given prophecy

And when will I learn to not

Call pain love?

When will I stop falling for

The prodigal son

The prodigal son
