INTRO: E A B E
E
I was a little bit different, always ahead of my time
B
And my daddy said son you're headin' for a life of crime
EA
And my mama tells me I'm a curse of the neighborhood
EBE
But I won't change now even if I thought I could
E
Well I left my home on the day I was 21
B
Folks at home refer to me as prodigal son
EA
Small times, small change never did agree with me
EBE
So I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
CHORUS:
AE
Now I'm makin' you a promise, and you can take it to the witness stand
B
When I get a chance, I'll see you just as soon as I can
EA
Hey do you miss me ma, daddy do you still love me
EBE
'Cause I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
INTRO
E
Now I must admit that your little boy's havin' fun
B
And I don't expect you to forgive all the things I've done
EA
Hey but believe me ma, I've learned me a thing or two
EBE
I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for my daddy and you
CHORUS
EA
Hey do you miss me ma, daddy do you still love me
EBE
'Cause I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
EBE
Yeah I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
