Blues from Buckle Lyrics

I’ve heard tales from long ago
About the place I live
It don’t seem like the place I know
And it don’t seem to sweet

Who knows about the way these things go?
They say it’s changed but I don’t know…
But the place called Buckle seems so long ago

I’ve played games with different names
And names don’t change the flow
But that’s not how
this place here used to go

Who knows about the way these things go?
They say it’s changed but I don’t know…
But the place called Buckle seems so long ago

But the place called Buckle seems so long ago

Bridge:
Maybe we can wakeup
Or maybe if we breakup
Maybe if we shake up
Shake off and go?

I’ve played games with different names
And names don’t change the flow
But that’s not how
this place here used to go

Who knows about the way these things go?
They say it’s changed but I don’t know…
But the place called Buckle seems so long ago

But the place called Buckle seems so long ago

Redemption Lyrics

Just around the corner - Just around the block
It’s waiting in the alley - Ticking like a clock

I’m reaching for redemption
But I can’t get there all alone
I’m reaching for redemption
I need to get back home

It keeps me up at night – Tapping on my window pane
I need another chance now - A chance to heal the pain

I’m reaching for redemption
But I can’t get there all alone
I’m reaching for redemption
I need to get back home

Just when you thought
you couldn’t get what you need
just when you thought
it was all out of reach
Just when you thought
you couldn’t get what you need
That’s when you reach a little further…

Just around the corner - Just around the block
It’s waiting in the alley - Ticking like a clock

I’m reaching for redemption
But I can’t get there alone
I’m reaching for redemption
I need to get back home

Or never too blue

To be Mama

When trouble came to visit
She helped us find our way
When Sunday came to greet us
We never missed a day

She was never too tired
Or never too blue
She was never too tired
Or never too blue
To be Mama
To be Mama

Her arms are still around us
I feel her every day
You know I need that feeling
Can’t let it slip away

She was never too sad
Or never too old
She was never too sad
Or never too old

To be Mama
To be Mama

She was never too tired
Or never too blue
To be Mama
To be Mama
