Six-string mercy cuttin’ my veins
Notes keep drippin’ like summer rain
Played my soul ‘til my fingers bled
Tryna forget the words you said
Steel-string mercy, take my pain
Bend these notes ‘til I’m whole again
Cryin’ through the night ‘til the dawn comes true
Steel-string mercy, I’m leanin’ on you
Barroom faces, strangers stare
But none of ‘em know what’s buried there
Whiskey burnin’ down deep inside
But the music’s the only thing keepin’ me alive
If redemption’s just one more song
Play it loud ‘cause I’ve been gone too long
