Lyrics

Mercy

Let me tell my story
Let me sing my blues
and make amends to those i fooled
i think i see
what i never saw before

i've been around the world
i've sat on the porch
i found love at the last resort
i think i feel
what i've never felt before

i need somewhere to move my feet
to shuffle in peace before i sleep
so i'm going walking
till my heart is true
oh lord, have mercy
on the souls of my shoes

i'm gonna walk
till i get home
wherever that may be...

let me tell my story
let me sing my blues
and put down this wait i'm so used to
i think i know
what i never knew before

i need somewhere to move my feet
to shuffle in peace before i sleep
so i'm going walking
till my heart is true
oh lord, have mercy
on the souls of my shoes
