I strapped a sack upon my back In search of where the greener grass is at A destination, a new location, an exploration On my own I could be a lone ranger Oblivious to the danger A fascination, a deviation, a dream vacation I'm comin' back now and it's been such a long time Such a long time, I ran away like a fool It's good to be back now, been gone such a long time Such a long time, I wanna stay here with You Down and out when my journey went awry Doing everything I could to scrape by A complication, my desperation, a realization I know You care, You were there, I picked up the phone Your love was calling me home An invitation, my salvation, a celebration I don't know why I went away now But I believe I'm here to stay now And I can only say that You have shown the way And I'll be home one day So put me on the track, I'll take the train back Wiggity, wiggity, whack The prodigal son went whack After packin' up his bags and his pockets full of cash He said, "Yo, Pops, I need the inheritance just multiply by half" Andso he gathered up his things, and then he set across the land Well he screwed up, and used up, and boozed up Made a fool of himself, and now he's beggin' for some help He's beggin' please, on his knees Scrapin' the stalls, eatin' the feed Well the 411 on the son says the son's comin' He's comin' back Well I can testify, with the tears in his eyes The father welcomed back his son with his arms open wide Put a ring on his finger and a robe on his back He strapped some sandals to his feet and killed the fatted calf He said, "We're gonna celebrate with this big 'ol feast" Check it, verse 23, ya know, Luke 15 "So call that phunkee DJ with the microphone We're gonna party all night 'cause my son's come home"
