Mercy smiled and turned around slow
Then, she walked away as I said
Guess I better be moving on cause you know I want to stay
These days we've spent together
Seem like years
Better not forget about me
She said, though fighting the tears
Times like this I won't remember
But, I can't forget
Stepping out on a lifetime road as her eyes were getting wet
Told Mercy not to cry
It ain't as bad as it seems
Who knows, I may be back someday
So close your eyes and kiss my lips
I'll see you in my dreams
But, now I've got to be on my way
Then, I put that car in drive
Was gonna try to catch the sun
With my heart aching in my chest
Like a shot from a loaded gun
Rolled out on a Tuesday morning
Didn't leave a trace
With rain hitting on the windshield
Like tears on a crying face
Seems I lost myself again
But, I don't know how
I'm too tired to keep on going
It's too late to turn around
Because I spent some time in a five by nine out in Salina, Kansas
Saved my soul and sent me on my way
Because they don't much like folks
Who don't believe in Jesus
I told them we would all see some day
We'd all see some day
We'd all see some day
We'd all see some day
We'd all see some day
Mercy smiled and turned around slow
Then she walked away
