Lyrics

"When Mercy Calls" (Todd Austin/Warner Hodges 2003)

Sitting here at the kitchen table
I guess I've smoked as many as I'm able
Been waiting around for so damned long

Maybe it's the smoke, or maybe it's me
For some reason, I can't see what's wrong
What is wrong

Chorus:
I don't care how hard I fall
Don't care if my back's against the wall
Long as I'm still there
When mercy calls

Mercy ain't no friend of mine
In fact she's quite hard to find
Many a man has tried to win her heart

Try as they may, they try in vain
She leaves them standing there in the rain
Torn apart

Chorus

She can love you in so many ways
If she ever deserts you
It would hurt you for all your days
You'll pray
That mercy calls

Lord have mercy

She can love you in so many ways
If she ever deserts you
It would hurt you for all your days
You'll pray
That mercy calls
