Mercy Songtext
von Bill Chambers

Mercy was somebody′s daughter
Just looking for a soft place to fall
Searching the back roads way after dark
Waiting for the next port of call
But the road from the bed to the bottle
Is better less traveled with lies
Nobody told her they thought she was pretty
But they all saw the look in her eyes

Roll on low, roll on straight
No man, no Mercy won't wait
Roll on high, roll on shore
Well there ain′t no Mercy no more


Mercy was almost forsaken
Leaving few bridges unburned
Rode with the cowboys back through the canyons
Losing more lessons unlearned
Where there's a shiny tomorrow
Well there's never a dark yesterday
She leans to the west while silver spurs jangle
Watches her world wash away

Roll on low, roll on straight
No man, no Mercy won′t wait
Roll on high, roll on shore
Well there ain′t no Mercy no more

Roll on high, roll on shore
Now there ain't no Mercy no more
