Mercy in Her Eyes - David Munyon
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 and 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
Well 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 she'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 see's 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
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
