Prodigal’s Return

Dann Lottermoser, Kenny Loggins

[Chorus]
He come a-ridin'
He come a-ridin'
He come a-ridin'
He come

[Verse 1]
Four A.M., look who come a-callin'
Ridin' down the road
Billy come back from a journey of folly
Ridin' down the road
He come ridin' back home
Warming the hearts of his own
He from downtown Des Moines
And now he starts to putting me down
I don't think he's been rollin' too long

[Verse 2]
Eighteen years of total revolution
Ridin' down the road
Say, listen to me, daddy, now I've got a solution
Ridin' down the road
Why not let me come in?
I'm still your boy and your kin
Remember the prodigal sin
Said, "Son, we're gonna give unto you
What mama thinks you've got comin' due"

[Chorus]
He come a-ridin'
Billy come a-call, come a-call, call
He come a-ridin'
He's ridin' down, down, down, down

[Verse 3]
Eighteen years of total revolution
Come ridin' down the road
Say, listen to me, mama, now I've got a solution
Ridin' down the road
Why not let me come in? (He said)
Said, "I'm still your boy and your kin"
Remember the prodigal sin
Said, "Son, we're gonna give unto you
What daddy thinks you've got comin' due, yeah"

[Outro]
He come a-ridin'
Billy come a-call, come a-call, call
He come a-ridin'
He's ridin' down, down, down the road
He come a-ridin', ooh
He come a-ridin', ridin', ridin'
He come a-ridin', ridin', ridin'
He come a-ridin', down, down, down
He come a-ridin'...
