lyrics

Redemption Blues – words and music by Ryan Sheeler

Sittin’ here in the dark – wonderin’ what to pray
Lord why didn’t you save me – let me go through hell
I know you were watchin’ me when I fell

VERSE 1
Sure this’ ain’t what it feels like to let go
Sure this’ ain’t what it feels like to let go
Sleepwalk talkin’, driving down the road

VERSE 2
Write it on the road, where I hoped to die
Write it on the road, where I hoped to die
I spent so many hours – tryin’ to hang my head and cry

VERSE 3
Lord tonight I’ve been praying for the things you used to say
Lord tonight I’ve been praying for the things you used to say
life’d be so much sweeter if you said loved me

VERSE 4
Maybe I’ll go back out there tonight an’ drive those lonely miles
Maybe I’ll go back out there tonight an’ drive those lonely miles
Being alone aint too safe – I still wish I could see your smile

c. 2011 Ryan Sheeler/Highway 30 Music (ASCAP)
