David and Rachel Radio 5.29.23: PAPA SAID
Hey Memorial Day Y'all! Here is a new song.
It is a Prodigal Son song. One note: on the guitar squeaks, yes, I know. I had it fixed (or under control) until I mastered it and the mastering kind of brought it back out. I will take another pass on that when I move to a final version but I don’t feel like doing it right now. Any thoughts on the song itself would be cool though.
Papa SaidBy Rachel Cintula and David Snyder

I think Papa gave me
the very best of him
Raised me not to shake
My honest hands with sin
Taught me to climb mountains when they came up to me
and not get lost in the darkness
of the deep valleys
And I can hear him say, son
It don’t matter where you go
And it don’t matter what you do
I’ll be right here on this front porch, if you need me
And I’ll be waitin’
For you
CH
And Papa said
Don’ forget your compass
Even when you’ve reached the top
Or those directions home
If you’re living too fast to stop
From choices that left you broken and alone
You can always come back to me
Just come back home
V2
Sad to say my life got
A little out of hand
Made some bad mistakes
Wouldn't want to make again
Did some things that caused us a whole world of hurt
and dragged our family name
through some heartache and some dirt
Still I heard him say,
Son, even if you fall
I will always hold you close cause it happens to us all
Yeah I can still hear him say,
Son, even if you fall
I will always hold you close cause it happens to us all
CH
And Papa said
Don’ forget your compass
Even when you’ve reached the top
Or those directions home
If you’re living too fast to stop
From choices that left you broken and alone
You can always come back to me
Just come back home
BR
Now that I myself am a papa to a son
I trying to raise him like my own Papa done
CH
And Papa says
Don’ forget your compass
Even if you’ve reached the top
Or those directions home
If you’re living too fast to stop
From choices that left you broken and alone
You can always come back to me,
Just come back home
Just come back home
Yeah son
You can always come back home
