Now, the prodigal son was a forward child, his mind was not to obey But after he left his father's house he thought he had gone astray That's why I believe that, I believe that I will go back home And I believe that, I believe that I will go back home Well, I believe that, I believe that I will go back home And be a servant of the Lord Now, his father saw him coming he met him with a smile He threw his arms around him, saying, "This is my darling child" Now, I believe that, I believe that I will go back home And I believe that, I believe that I will go back home Well, I believe that, I believe that I will go back home And be a servant of the Lord The father asked the prodigal "Son, why you been gone so long? Well, did you so love the world and forget your happy home" The prodigal said, "I searched for true religion But no faith and no peace could I find Until I came to a little place called Bakersfield, that eased my troublin' mind" That's why I believe that, I believe that I will go back home And I believe that, I believe that I will go back home Well, I believe that, I believe that I will go back home And be a servant of the Lord (well I) I wandered into a tavern where a music band was playin' Now, the steel guitar rang out so sweet, I feel that I was prayin' And I asked a comely waitress, is this a new teaching Yeah, she said there is no God but God, and Ralph Mooney is his name I said, let me empty your ashtray, Mr. Mooney And if the drunks interfere I'll be sad But just as long as you sit there on the bandstand And play your guitar like Buddha, I'll be glad The father asked the prodigal, Did you smell the sweet perfume and hear the angel band? He said, dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music Is the only kind of truth I'll ever understand I believe that, I believe that I will go back home And I believe that, I believe that I will go back home Well, I believe that, I believe that I will go back home And be a servant of the Lord I believe this, I believe that I will, yes I believe I believe this, I believe that I will, yes I believe I believe this, I believe that I will, yes I believe I believe this, I believe that I will, yes I believe I believe this, I believe that I will, yes I believe I believe this, I believe that I will, yes I believe I believe this, I believe that I will, yes I believe I believe this, I believe that I will, yes I believe
