The Prodigal Son (浪子) - Ry Cooder (雷·库德)

Lyricist：Traditional

Composer：Traditional

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

Yes I believe that I believe that I will go back home

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

And be a servant of the Lord

Now his father saw him coming

And he met him with a smile

And threw his arms around him

Saying this is my darling child

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

Yes I believe that I believe that I will go back home

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

And be a servant of the Lord

Now the father asked the prodigal

Son why you been gone so long

But then

And forget your happy home

The prodigial 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

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

Yes I believe that I believe that I will go back home

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

And be a servant of the Lord

Now I wandered into a tavern

Where a music band was playin'

The steel guitar rang out so sweet

I felt like 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

Now the father asked the prodigal

Did you smell the sweet perfume and hear the angel band

He said daddy dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music

Is the only kind of truth I'll ever understand

That's why

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

And be a servant of the Lord

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

I believe that I believe that I will go back home

I believe that I believe that I will go back home
