Long Lost Son Songtext
von The Band of Heathens

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 bottom land, do you remember me?


Long-lost son of the Brazos
Long-lost son of the Brazos
Long-lost son of the Brazos River Valley
(Huh-huh-huh-huh)

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

Oh, I′m coming home
I'm coming home
Yeah, I′m coming home
