A boy of only sixteen but it was time for me to leave
To get out into the real world and see what I could see
So I packed my bags and I grabbed my coat
And I went out on my way
With the money that my Dad had saved and abrand new (D)
Chevrolet
Well I was livin' it up the first few weeks
I had wine, women and song
But as fast as they came was as fast as they left
When my money was all gone
It was then I saw a man on the street He was singin' with an old (D)
guitar
With a light in his eyes and a smile on his face
And a voice you could hear so far
And he sang
There's a love, love, love inside of me
A love, love, love oh can't you see
I have been forgiven I have seen the light
There's a party in heaven tonight
Well things got bad and things got worse I guess you know the tune
And before too long I was wonderin' just what I was gonna do
So I swallowed my pride and I hit the road that led back to my home
And from a long way I could see my dad running down the road
Singin'
There's a love, love, love inside of me
A love, love, love oh can't you see
I have been forgiven I have seen the light
There's a party in heaven tonight
Well that night I told my father it was wrong what I done to you
And I don't think that I should be here now
It was then my father told me
Son you once were lost but now you're found
And we sang
