Redemption Road - Tom Paxton

Paid the man all he was owed,

Tipped my hat and walked away

Down that sweet redemption road,

Put it down to yesterday.

Come redemption my old friend,

When the seeds of life are sowed.

Come and lead me to the end

Of that sweet redemption road.

Looking back I can’t complain.

I took out what I put in.

Days of snow and days of rain

And redemption in the end.

Come redemption my old friend,

When the seeds of life are sowed.

Come and lead me to the end

Of that sweet redemption road.

Only time and time alone

Treats each weary soul the same.

When my sum of days has flown,

Time alone will know my name.

When my sum of days has flown,

Time alone will know my name.
