Lyrics

Honey, I'm sorry that I had to go
But there's something about me that you didn't know
When I was young, I fathered a son
Now he's got himself in trouble
And now he's on the run

His mother and I were quite young at the time
But there's not much room for doubt
That the child was mine
I asked her folks for her hand
But they said there's just no way
No matter how I begged and pleaded
They sent their daughter away

I only know his name
But I was touched by what the paper said
They said he's on the run
With a price on his head

So I've got to find him
I feel it's my place
I've got to find my son
I've got no time to waste
I've got to find him
'Cause he's my son
If he had had a father there to guide his way
He wouldn't be on the run today
I never saw my son
I only knew his name
When he turned five years old
His photograph came
I've got this worn out picture
A name of a town
With no other trace left to be found
But I'm sure I'll find him
'Cause he is my son
'Cause a father's love remains
No matter what his child has done

So I've got to find him
I feel it's my place
I've got to find my son
I've got no time to waste
I've got to find him
'Cause he is my son
If he had had a father there to guide his way
He wouldn't be on the run today

Oh, oh, yeah
I'm really getting worried, people
I've got to find my son
Some friends of his told me they saw him
Running with a gun
So I've got to find him
I feel it's my place
I've got to find my son
I've got no time to waste
I've got to find him
Oh, 'cause he is my son
If he had had a father there to guide his way
He wouldn't be on the run today

Oh, I've got to find, oh, I've got to, ooh
(I feel it's my place) Feel it's my place
Oh, I've got to find my son
I've got no time to waste
