Redemption Blues

My time is drawing thinner

I'm just a tired old sinner

No chips left on this shoulder

No pride in growing older

But when your borrowed time is through...

I'll be with you

Redemption blues

No man can truly outlast

All the mistakes of his past

There's no haven here for me

That's safe from my memories

But when your borrowed time is through...

I'll be with you

Redemption blues

And justice ain't no lady

She's a twisted, battered whore

She's laying bruised and naked

On a bloodstained wooden floor

Our days are over

Times have changed around these parts

There ain't no more cowboys

Only men with violent hearts

Redemption blues...

My time is drawing thinner...

I'm just a tired old sinner...
