Prodigal

Pick your battles wisely son He says, "You'll hold on to what you've found You don't want them slantin' your name When they find you face down On the muddy side of town" So keep your eyes on the road ahead And do your best not to stray too far You see the end's gonna come now soon enough It don't matter who you are So don't think no less of your humble possessions When you see all the money they owe 'Cause all the gold they got ain't gonna change a thing And it ain't, it ain't gonna save their souls 'Cause where we've been, and where we're from And you could do the same, and go and get you some But when the lights go out, you're sittin' all alone With no money, no friends, and nowhere to begin Prodigal – it's your own damn fault Passing out the blame Trying to keep yourself afloat these days Will everybody gather over here? He's got a mouth full of poison And some time to waste We seen you comin' down the road, crawlin' back home I guess everything's goin', everybody goes And now the only thing left is the way you left it You had a good run and now you're chasing regrets He said, "Where we've been, and where we're from And you could do the same, and go and get you some But when the lights go out, you're sittin' all alone With no money, no friends, and nothin' left to show Where we've been and where we're from And you could do the same, and go and get you some But when the lights go out, you're sittin' all alone With no money, no friends, and nowhere to begin Prodigal!
