Mercy Lyrics by Keith Harkin

On Mercy Street

2016

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
