mercy came calling today,
God knows i needed to see her
courage left me out in the lane,
beat up and runnin' without her

she told me sit down, you made a mess of things
she was right
she said, you got to slow down,
don' need ta stay out all night
mercy

mercy reached out,
put her arms around me
kissed me and seemed at home
i said don't leave me, looked in her eyes
she knows who i am an' knows what i done

mercy came callin' today an'
i think it's the only way
i can sleep easy, or even sleep at all

mercy came singing tonight,
she called me out to dance
her sweet grace brought me delight,
it's so much more than romance
she took me right to it,
i didn't think i could do it
that old dragon's gone, mercy slew it

oh mercy put her arms around me,
kissed me, she seemed at home
i said don't leave me, i looked in her eyes,
she knows who i am an' she knows what i done

she forgives but she doesn't deceive me
oh mercy don't leave me
the radio here by my bed doesn't ring anymore in my head
mercy!
mercy came callin' today,
God knows i needed to see her
she came callin' today,
God knows i needed to see her
callin' today, oh callin' today,
mercy came callin' today
