Prodigal Son

(album: Johnny Winter And - 1970)

Shine on, prodigal son.
Gotta have your morning glory
Keep on having your fun
It'll be the same old story soon
Soon it'll be afternoon
Sun's getting hot at the bind
Never mind

Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
Afternoon
Afternoon

Burn on, celestial star
Burn away the ties that bind you
Groove on wherever you are
Do you thing, the one will find you here
You won't have nothing to fear
But time's just slipping away
Day by day

Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
Afternoon
Afternoon

Shine bright, prodigal son
Rush off to your happy ending
Good night, celestial one
No use wasting time pretending now
Now that you've broken his vow
Hating your time and your space
Lose them rays

Keep on watching the sky
Keep on waiting to die
Keep on wondering why
Afternoon
Afternoon
