Lyrics
I spent all my money, I played my last card It started out funny and ended up hard I don't regret nothing, I'd do it again in spite In fact come to think of it, I think I just might CHORUS My prodigal son - hey - it's time to come home The law's at the door - hey - the lawyer's on the phone We gonna kill the fatted calf like we been shown All will be forgiven, if you can find your way home I learned a few things I can say w/out shame When the fat lady sings, you better know her good name I went through lots of money I never really earned Until one day I woke up, and saw my bridges had all burned CHORUS I've been called a hedonist, and that's not the worst name I've been slapped and I've been kissed, I do love the fast lane To avoid the hangovers you gotta stay high Love's a laugh a minute if you're not afraid to cry. I'm touched by the old man's invite to come home I could bury the bloody hatchet and throw the dog a bone But I don't think I'll be going, for one thing there's the cost, Besides w/out a destination, it's impossible to be lost. My prodigal father - hey - I'm feelin right at home It may be that I wander - but I'm not a rollin stone I have killed the fatted calf and I don't need to atone. I don't need to be forgiven, cause I'm feeling right at home. (no wait…) I forgave myself, so goodbye Daddyooo.
