Lyrics

Wayward Son
Roy Hurd

When I gave my soul to the open road
They said I’d never find my way home
That’s not right there’s a guiding light
Inside each and every one
Of us wayward sons

I’ve achieved a measure of peace
In spite of my restlessness
Youth can be stolen by perpetual motion
That’s the risk we run
As wayward sons

Chorus:
The roads I’ve take and the choices I’ve made
You may not understand
But before you judge me or you choose to love me
Remember I’m just a man

All I ever knew of my Father were stories I’ve heard
Through my Mothers broken heart
If he were here right now would he be proud
To see what has become
Of his wayward son

I have made big mistakes
In matters of the heart
So I do what I can to make amends
For the damage I have done
This wayward son

Repeat Chorus:

Joy and sorrow
Courage and fear
Hope and helplessness
The best and the worse
The blessed and the cursed
Are all rolled into one
For a wayward son
