Have mercy on me
I cannot be saved
Have mercy on me
I've forgotten my own name
Have mercy on me
Well I'm ten-feet in and I'm up against a wall
They're paving the way
But I believe I'm half grown
Have mercy on me
You called me last night from the L.A airport
I've never been able to say that before
But it's nice, yes it's nice to be loved
I'm leaving the city of oh-slow decline
People get stuck here, stuck in their minds
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me I'm just trying to make a buck
People see me on the street they wanna wish me good luck
Oh it's nice, yes it's nice to be alone
Put your best foot forward, learn to talk a certain way
You'll be doing this forever, damned if I say
Have mercy on me
