Lord Have Mercy

Lord Have Mercy

It’s late in the night and I’m driving this highway
I’m sad and I’m weary but I must drive on
If I can go on just a little bit longer
Maybe, just maybe, I’ll make it back home

Lord have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
Lord have mercy have mercy on my soul

It’s late in the night and my lord, I am haunted
By what I just saw by the side of the road
To think in one moment it all could be over
I look for a moment, and then I drive on

It’s late in the night and I’m driving this highway
Thinking about all the choices I’ve made
Now I am destined to search for redemption
Maybe, just maybe, I’ll find it someday

It’s late in the night and I’m driving this highway
On through the rain and the fog and the haze
So is it here in this world of confusion
To tell right from wrong as we pass through these days

Lord have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
Lord have mercy have mercy on us all

When ages and passed and the fog has been lifted
What do you think they’ll remember us for?
We did not hesitate and we read the newspapers
And rattled our sabers, our sabers for war

Lord have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
Lord have mercy have mercy on my soul

Lord have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
Lord have mercy have mercy on us all
