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
