[Intro] 
E  A  B  E
[Verse]
I was a Elittle bit different, always ahead of my time
And my daddy said son you're headin' for a life of Bcrime
And my Emama tells me I'm a curse of the neighborAhood
But I Ewon't change now Beven if I thought I Ecould
Well I Eleft my home on the day I was 21
Folks at home refer to me as prodigal Bson
Small Etimes, small change never did agree with Ame
So I went Eout on a limb and fell Boff of the family Etree
[Chorus]
Now I'm Amakin' you a promise, and you can Etake it to the witness stand
When I get a chance, I'll see you just as soon as I Bcan
Hey do you Emiss me ma, daddy do you still love Ame
'Cause I went Eout on a limb and fell Boff of the family Etree
[Instrumental]
E  A  B  E
[Verse]
Now I Emust admit that your little boy's havin' fun
And I don't expect you to forgive all the things I've Bdone
Hey but Ebelieve me ma, I've learned me a thing or Atwo
I wouldn't Ebe here now if it Bwasn't for my daddy and Eyou
[Chorus]
Hey do you Emiss me ma, daddy do you still love Ame
'Cause I went Eout on a limb and fell Boff of the family Etree
Yeah I went Eout on a limb and fell Boff of the family Etree

So I went out on a limb and fell off of the family tree
