Forgive me I lost my way I wandered far and wide I come back to the post oak trees and tangled mustang vines Crossed the muddy Brazos river that carves a county line Remember me, I am your son, I have been all my life
Long lost son of the Brazos Long lost son of the Brazos Long lost son of the Brazos River Valley
Round here you can damn near wash your hair in humidity Round here you thank sweet baby Jesus for a semblance of a breeze Here the blood of the world runs muddy all the way out to the sea Here I am in the bottomland, do you remember me?
Long lost son of the Brazos Long lost son of the Brazos Long lost son of the Brazos River Valley
Sailing on the four winds across the seven seas Seeing things you never would believe Staring down the wonders of a world I never knew But all I could think of was coming home to you
Long lost son of the Brazos Long lost son of the Brazos Long lost son of the Brazos River Valley
Long lost son of the Brazos Long lost son of the Brazos Long lost son of the Brazos River Valley I’m coming home I’m coming home I’m coming home
