Lyrics
Time, Love, and Mercy
www.broadjam.com/mwm
You know we lost the house in Dallas
The car went to a girl named Alice
Her daddy got one hell of a deal
Cause my babies needed their next meal
And the lawyers got the money
You know one thing sure is funny
They?re were the only ones in the whole damned thing that turned out to be real
And the TV preacher is worried about my soul
With the damage done it?s about to take its toll
Time, love, and mercy
Jesus don?t you see me?
Help me if it pleases you
Time, love, and mercy oh
Time, love, and mercy oh
I need another second chance
I love that Phoenix story
From the ashes up to glory
I know you have your doubts
But I believe that?s what will be
Flirting with disaster
Is there a happily ever after?
Some say I flew too close to the sun
Well we?ll just wait and see
TV preacher?s still worried about my soul
With the damage done it?s about to take its toll
Time, love, and mercy
Jesus don?t you see me?
Help me if it pleases you
Time, love, and mercy oh
Time, love, and mercy oh
I need another second chance
Continue with the dance
As the singers say
Carry me away
Looking for the future, to overcome the past
All you men who did me in, you can kiss my?
Time, love, and mercy
Jesus don?t you see me?
Help me if it pleases you
Time, love, and mercy oh
Time, love, and mercy oh
I need another second chance
