Well, I fell from grace like a tonne of bricks, but my head is hard and my skin is thick
Got a coal-black heart, and a made up mind that I ain't gonna leave no love behind
Oh yeah, so hard to understand
Lord, have mercy on a mule-headed man
You just give me an inch, and I'll take a mile, 'cause taking orders just ain't my style
You can keep on talking, baby, but it won't change me; I'm the stubbornest man that there'll ever be
Come on, so hard to understand
Lord, have mercy on a mule-headed man
TV preachers say that God is poor; I can have more money if I send him more
If I drain my wallet, God'll fill my cup
Will the real, live Jesus please stand up?
I'll just take what's yours, and I'll keep what's mine
I'm a two-time loser with a one-tracked mind
I'm as mean and cruel as a mule can be
Roll over Balaam, you got nothing on me
So hard to understand
Lord, have mercy on a mule-headed man
I said, Lord, have mercy; I'm a mule-headed man
Lord, have mercy; I'm a mule-headed man
Come on
Yeah
Come on
Hey
Come on
Yeah
Come on
Whoa
