greg brown – i believe i’ll go back home lyrics
when i left my father’s house, i was well supplied
i made a mistake when i did go, now i’m dissatisfied
i believe i’ll go back home, i believe i’ll go back home
i believe i’ll go back home, acknowledge i’ve done wrong
i’ll go back to my father’s house, the place i love so dear
there they have plenty to eat, lord, i am starving here
i’ll go back to my father’s house, and fall down on my face
declare i am not worthy to receive a servants place
i believe i’ll go back home, i believe i’ll go back home
i believe i’ll go back home, acknowledge i’ve done wrong
when father saw me coming, he did greet me with a smile
threw his arms around him, saying,”here’s my wandering child!”
father said to my brother “go kill the fatted calf,
tell our friends and relatives, my son’s home at last!”
i believe i’ll go back home, i believe i’ll go back home
i believe i’ll go back home, acknowledge i’ve done wrong
my brother he was jealous, i believe i heard him say
“you give to him my portion, i never went away!”
father said to my brother “you have been both good and kind,
not calf i’ve given thee – all i have is thine.”
i believe i’ll go back home, i believe i’ll go back home
i believe i’ll go back home, acknowledge i’ve done wrong
