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

E A

And my mama tells me I'm a curse of the neighborhood

E B E

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

E A

Small times, small change never did agree with me

E B E

So I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree

CHORUS:

A E

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

E A

Hey do you miss me ma, daddy do you still love me

E B E

'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

E A

Hey but believe me ma, I've learned me a thing or two

E B E

I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for my daddy and you

CHORUS

E A

Hey do you miss me ma, daddy do you still love me

E B E

'Cause I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree

E B E

Yeah I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
