I was walking down the railroad tracks
Occasionally looking over my back
I'm on the run to get my fill
To get some money to pay the bills
I work at a gas station it's not so fun
But I guess it's pretty good for a kid on the run
When I left home I had it all
Not even thinking about 'if I fall'
I gambled my life away like a fool
I failed at math, language, everything in school
Now I look at my life so covered in sin
I see how terrible a son I've been
So see father I understand
If you don't want to take me back in, or just plain can't
I'm a terrible rebel on the loose
I guess I'm alone now, bound to lose
I search the town, aimlessly wandering
But I still keep thinking, wondering, pondering
What if my father let me back in
If only confessed to person I've been
I walked up the road
I saw him standing there
I felt my heart explode
I think it's full of air
He runs down the steps
I dropped my sack
He throws his arms around me
And says I'm glad you're back
