lyrics

Hangin' on to mercy. Hangin' on to mercy.
'Cause mercy is what's saving me right now.
You were unfaithful with a man from the city,
But luckily Lord Jesus will allow

Hangin' on to mercy. Hangin' on to mercy.
Trigger finger twitchin' with my rage.
Well I could shoot you, but then I'd be missing
From that spot on ol' Saint Peter's page.

Time after time, I destroy you in my mind
Thinkin' that your blood will quench my thirst.
You never bled when we shared our marriage bed.
Darling Hell, I know I'm not your first.

Hangin' on to mercy. Hangin' on to mercy.
'Cause mercy is the only hope you got.
Oh, I fear nothing, not a shred of reprisal
'Cause I will never let you get me caught.

Hangin' on to mercy. Hangin' on to mercy.
Ol' whiskey is the cure for bein' soft.
Two bottles later and I got a new purpose,
To hold your rotten, cheatin' heart aloft.

Hangin' on to mercy. Hangin' on to mercy.
Rotting in the county jail cell.
Well, it ain't pretty, but at least it's better
Than living in that other kind of Hell.
