Lyrics to Mercy

One



[Verse 1]

So I'm out here on this beatdown dog track once more

Out here soul searchin', knockin' down doors

Well, Mercy Street, it sure beats a door

And it fills the bullet holes

I'm not out here glory huntin'

I'm not usin' my control

When I need you more than ever

I'm cryin' for your help

Help me, please

Life was truck stops, out of gas

And manufactured food

Every song that I penned

Well, they tell me it's no good

They keep their wealthy, feed their own

I'll be Robin Hood

Look out, keep your fire burnin'

Just ‘cause I told you that I would



[Pre-Chorus]

Well, I need you more than ever

I'm crying for your help

So let's be honest, hearts on sleeves

I can only be myself

I need you more than ever

Please help this broken heart

My time is up, I'm clockin' out

And I've said my last goodbye

Well, I need you more than ever

These are the cards I've dealt

Mercy, please

Whoa, Mercy, please



[Chorus]

Ooh, ooh

Oh, Mercy Street, yeah

Whoa, Mercy Street

Look, I'll drink whatever poison that you pour in my path

I'll climb any hurdle, yeah, you will feel my wrath

Look, I'm not buyin' [?] lies

Look, I'm not sellin' out for greed



[Bridge]

Open up your eyes here

And help me plant the seed



[Pre-Chorus]

Well, I need you more than ever

I'm cryin' for your help

So let's be honest, hearts on sleeves

I can only be myself

I need you more than ever

Please help a brother out

My time is up, I'm clockin' out

But I've said my last goodbye

Well, I need you more than ever

These are the drugs I've dealt

Mercy, please

Whoa, Mercy, please



[Chorus]

Ooh, ooh

Whoa, Mercy Street, yeah

Whoa, Mercy Street



[Verse 2]

Truthfully, add up to nowhere

Who's your dad

Will he be my friend

That's how I feel

Sin, help me

Feel real

Help me out

More bad news

[?]



[Pre-Chorus]

I need you more than ever

I'm cryin' for your help

So let's be honest, hearts on sleeves

I can only be myself

I need you more than ever

Oh, please help a brother out

I'm climbin' up, I'm clockin' out

And I've said my last goodbye

Well, I need you more than ever

These are the cards I've dealt

Mercy, please

Oh, Mercy, please



[Chorus]

Ooh, ooh

Oh, Mercy Street, yeah

Whoa, Mercy Street

Oh

Mercy Street

Oh, Mercy Street

Let's go

Whoa, Mercy Street
