Marty Stuart - Redemption lyrics

Written by Marty Stuart

Sometimes the only thing to do is
Turn around and go back home
When every way there is to turn
Has vanished and is gone
I've used up every trick that I
Had hidden up my sleeve
Think it's time I reconcile with
What I had to leave
In a little country graveyard
In the middle of the night
I'm kneeling by the memory of the
One who gave me life
She always knew me better than
I'll ever know myself
I keep hearing her and Jesus
Say "Surrender son and rest"

Redemption, like the moon
Tonight, hangs pretty, soft and low
And how it's been up until
Now don't matter anymore
In the middle of this darkness
I see a light that shines
Like a beacon of forgiveness saying "Pilgrim
All is fine"
There's one more journey left for me
That's all that's left to do
And in the dirt he wrote
A simple note that said, "momma I love you"
