Mama Sweet - Mercy lyrics

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
