Long Lost Son

(album: Simple Things - 2023)

Forgive me I lost my way I wandered far and wide
I come back to the post oak trees and tangled mustang vines
Crossed the muddy Brazos river that carves a county line
Remember me, I am your son, I have been all my life

Long lost son of the Brazos
Long lost son of the Brazos
Long lost son of the Brazos River Valley

Round here you can damn near wash your hair in humidity
Round here you thank sweet baby Jesus for a semblance of a breeze
Here the blood of the world runs muddy all the way out to the sea
Here I am in the bottomland, do you remember me?

Long lost son of the Brazos
Long lost son of the Brazos
Long lost son of the Brazos River Valley

Sailing on the four winds across the seven seas
Seeing things you never would believe
Staring down the wonders of a world I never knew
But all I could think of was coming home to you

Long lost son of the Brazos
Long lost son of the Brazos
Long lost son of the Brazos River Valley

Long lost son of the Brazos
Long lost son of the Brazos
Long lost son of the Brazos River Valley
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
