Wayward Son

lyrics

Daddy used to beat me when I was kid
Said that it would do me good
I don’t think it ever did

Way of the wayward son
On the road my daddy set me on
Way of the wayward son
On the road my daddy set me on

I was taught it sit up straight follow teacher’s rules
But I think that they all knew
That I never could
Then the preacher asked one Sunday ‘morn
What I was looking for
‘Said I didn’t really know and headed for the door

Way of the wayward son
On the road this world has set me on
Way of the Wayward Son
On the road this world has set me on

Daddy used to beat when I was kid
He was only doing then
what grandad did to him

Lord, please forgive them
They know not what they do
Besides Im just a traveler
A traveler passing through

Way of the wayward son
On the road forgiveness set me on
Way of the Wayward Son
And I think my journeys just begun.

Jhett Black Nashville, Tennessee

Foot stomping rhythms and raucous slide guitar wage war on struggle beneath the bass/baritone howls

After a decade of playing dive bars, the recent pandemic has forced his hands back into
the rural soil of his
youth. The blues, woven into the young man’s heart, pour out with the passionate
performance of an older soul.
