Runaway Son

Good sister, won't you let me in? I'm in need of some warmth and shelter It's a hard luck story; don't know where to begin I've been riding on life's helter-skelter [Bridge] Save me, holy mother, please save me I got a heart of gold [Chorus] And for your love, I'd go hungry and thirsty I need a saviour, and you're the one I throw myself into the arms of mercy There's still hope for the runaway son My good father, he say to me Better come back to your senses There's an empty bottle lying on the floor And it's undermined your defences [Bridge] [Chorus] Good brother, show me how to get home I've been walking in the backyard of Satan I'm so stubborn that I'll never give in But now my heart's cold and aching [Bridge] [Chorus]
