Wayward Son
A careless little boy running wild running free
Living in a world of make belief
Grew up in this town but in his dreams he'd fly away
To a land beyond the sun where he would stay
Wandering these streets the days just slipping by
Trying to find some meaning in his life
Smoke filled the air as he drank the nights away
He found an easy way to escape
Everybody knows him as the wayward son
Struggling to atone for what he's done
The night he had enough he didn't even say goodbye
He left without a teardrop in his eye
Travelling alone as he tried to find a way
To reconcile the past with his fate
Heading down a path full of long forgotten fears
Haunted by a mother's wasted tears
Deep within his mind the memories of home
Chase him as he enters the unknown
Everybody knows him as the wayward son
Far from home and always on the run
Everybody knows him as the wayward son
Struggling to atone for what he's done
Gone are the days when they remembered his name, oh
He's just a shadow of the past
Nobody cares that he's no longer there, oh
He's just a shadow of the past
Everybody knows him as the wayward son
Far from home and always on the run
Everybody knows him as the wayward son
Struggling to atone for what he's done
Living in a world of make belief
Grew up in this town but in his dreams he'd fly away
To a land beyond the sun where he would stay
Wandering these streets the days just slipping by
Trying to find some meaning in his life
Smoke filled the air as he drank the nights away
He found an easy way to escape
Everybody knows him as the wayward son
Struggling to atone for what he's done
The night he had enough he didn't even say goodbye
He left without a teardrop in his eye
Travelling alone as he tried to find a way
To reconcile the past with his fate
Heading down a path full of long forgotten fears
Haunted by a mother's wasted tears
Deep within his mind the memories of home
Chase him as he enters the unknown
Everybody knows him as the wayward son
Far from home and always on the run
Everybody knows him as the wayward son
Struggling to atone for what he's done
Gone are the days when they remembered his name, oh
He's just a shadow of the past
Nobody cares that he's no longer there, oh
He's just a shadow of the past
Everybody knows him as the wayward son
Far from home and always on the run
Everybody knows him as the wayward son
Struggling to atone for what he's done
