Mercy

(album: Mercy - 2021)

Strong liquor and an empty glass
And three weeks that kicked my ass
This running ragged sure is hell on me
I'm nine miles a minute and I'm head-long in it
And she knows she's in up to her knees

And she's patient when she's had enough
That's how she shows me love
And she gives me more than she gets from me
Sometimes the whole thing gets me down
It takes more than love to turn around

I have mercy when I need it
That's one thing I'll always need
And she knows it
And lord she shows it
She gives me every reason to believe

I have mercy when I need it
And that's one thing I always need
And she knows it
And lord she shows it
She gives me every reason to believe

And she knows it
And lord she shows it
She gives me every reason to believe

Strong liquor and an empty glass
Three weeks that kicked my ass
This running ragged sure is hell on me
