Runaway Son

Good sister, won't you let me in?
I'm in need of some warmth and shelter
It's a hard luck story, don't know where to begin
I've been riding on life's helter-skelterSave me, Holy Mother, please, save me
I got a heart of goldAnd for your love I'd go hungry and thirsty
I need a savior and you're the one
I throw myself into the arms of mercy
There's still hope for the runaway sonMy good father, he say to me
"Better come back to your senses
There's an empty bottle lying on the floor
And it's undermined your defenses"Save me, Holy Mother, please, save me
I got a heart of goldAnd for your love I'd go hungry and thirsty
I need a savior and you're the one
I throw myself into the arms of mercy
There's still hope for the runaway sonAnd for your love I'd go hungry and thirsty
I need a savior and you're the one
I throw myself into the arms of mercy
There's still hope for the runaway sonGood brother, show me how to get home
I've been walking in the backyard of Satan
I'm so stubborn that I'll never give in
But now my heart's cold and achingSave me, Holy Mother, please, save me
I got a heart of goldAnd for your love I'd go hungry and thirsty
I need a savior and you're the one
I throw myself into the arms of mercy
