I was a little bit different always ahead of my time And my daddy said son you're headed for a life of crime And my mama tells me I'm the curse of the neighborhood But I won't change now even if I thought I could Well I left my home on the day I was twenty-one Folks at home refer to me as prodigal son Small times small change never did agree with me So I went out on a limb and fell off the family tree Now I'm making you a promise and you can take it to the witness stand When I get a chance I'll see you just as soon as I can Well do you miss me ma daddy do you still love me Cause I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree [ Guitar ] Now you won't believe it but your little boy is havin' fun And I don't expect you to forgive all the things I've done But believe me ma I've learned a thing or two I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for my daddy and you Now I'm making you a promise... Well do you miss me ma daddy do you still love me Cause I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree Yeah I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
