[Verse 1]
When I left my father's house
I was well supplied
I made a mistake and I did run
I'm dissatisfied

[Chorus]
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge I done wrong

[Verse 2]
I'll go back my father's house
I'll fall down on my face
Say that I'm unworthy
I'll seek a servant's place
I'll go back my father's house
The place I love so dear
There they have food to eat
And I'm a-starving here

[Chorus]
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge I done wrong

[Verse 3]
Father saw him coming
He met him with a smile
Threw his arms around him
Said this is my wandering child
Father said to his servants
Go kill a fatted calf
Invite both friends and relatives
My son's come home at last
[Chorus]
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge I done wrong
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge I done wrong
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge I done wrong
