I've got two sons as different as can be
Both of them are special in our family
One of them, he works so hard and helps us in our home
The other was dissatisfied and said "I want to roam, I want to roam"
Well I was sad when he said, "Dad, I just want my money"
So he took his inheritance and went where it was sunny
Then he spent all that he had, he squandered every dime
He was so pitiful eating with the swine, the pigs and swine
Chorus:
(So) Come on home
Your father will be waiting
Come on home
Oh, we're anticipating
Come on home
Turn around and change your ways
'Cause your dad won't be mad
In fact he'll be glad
Your dad won't be mad when you come on home
Then he saw his foolish ways and returned to the farm
My heart leapt for joy and I opened up the barn
Then we ate the fatted cow with everyone around
My son had been lost but now he's been found, he's been found
Then I placed a golden ring upon his hand
We danced and sang all night and played with the band
My son said, "I love you, Dad- I'll never leave again
Your forgiveness has brought me home- you are my friend, my best friend"
