Daddy won't you give me what is mine?
Appreciate all your help but you're behind the times
Daddy won't you give me what I've earned?
Everything you have to teach I've already learned
Daddy the world looks so good can't you see?
Yes I'll think of you after I think of me
The grass is always green on the other side
Satan's chariot took me for a ride
Standin' in the pig sty feeding all the swine
Standin' in the pig sty thought I'd have a good time
But I was wrong, Daddy I was wrong
Now I wanna go home, oh Daddy, I wanna come home
Daddy the world's bigger than I thought
Many things to buy and look what I bought
Wine, women and the devil sang my songs
I stood up for my rights but they were really wrongs
Daddy wish I had some food right now
My belly got so empty and I don't know how
An old man gave me a job feeding his swine
And I look at their food and wish it was mine
Standin' in the pig sty feeding all the swine
Standin' in the pig sty thought I'd have a good time
But I was wrong, Daddy I was wrong
Now I wanna go home, oh Daddy, I wanna come home
Now I see the world as it really is
What Satan said was mine, well it was always his
Daddy, I'm coming home to push your plow
Unworthy to be your son, I'll be your servant now
Daddy, I saw you running out the front door
Here I thought you would hate me but you love me more
And you say, "Come everyone eat and sit right down
For this my son was lost and now he's found!"
