Lyrics

My friends from the sidewalk have all gone home
The time on the wall is not my own
I was taken by a blind man who swore he could see
And now he's gone by the wayside but he's way ahead of me
Oh, I'm just a stone's throw away from my blood relations
Crying mercy by the streetlight
Please deliver me, deliver me
But I can't get down to the station
Oh, and Georgia never looked as good as she does from Tennessee
Oh, Georgia looks good from Tennessee
Mercy
And I tell you that this street is all I know
And I'm held by some concrete hand that won't let go
I was cut down in a crossfire, I believe it had to be
It took the worst of summer to get the best of me
I'm just a stone's throw away from my blood relations
Crying mercy
Please deliver me, deliver me
But I can't get down to the station
Oh, and Georgia never looked as good as she does from Tennessee
Oh, Georgia looks good from Tennessee
Mercy
