Mercy In Her Eyes歌词

He was seen in Oklahoma, on a sidewalk in the rain
Someone said he looked a little bit like Jesus as a teen
There was this old country angel, he used to be an engineer
He made most of rock n'roll, what it is in our ears
Life will take you on a ride
Like a circus ferries wheel
But you got to buy a ticket
And you know how that can feel
Life can be a roller coaster
But, towards the end of the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause love has mercy in her eyes
I saw him once in Tulsa, he was walking out a door
He had the face of a man that had seen to much war
His old memories were in the Army, well he'd been to Iraq
And everybody knows how tired we are of all that
Life will take you on a ride
Like a circus ferries wheel
But you got to buy a ticket
And you know how that can feel
Life can be a roller coaster
But, towards the end of the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause love has mercy in her eyes
I like the way she irons her clothes
Sometimes she cries when things ain't right
She sees me new, every morning
I don't know why, I don't know why
They said he made a couple movies
And robbed a county bank
They said he dressed like Johnny Cash
And he never ever drank
He was happy in his mind
And lonesome in his stroll
He would take your melody and probably touch your soul
Life will take you on a ride
Like a circus ferries wheel
But you got to buy a ticket
And you know how that can feel
Life can be a roller coaster
But, towards the end of the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause love has mercy in her eyes
