Mercy Line - Ty Herndon

I was a little bit foolish

And I got a whole lot of pride

It took a whole lot of hammerin'

To get through this head of mine

But, I ain’t ready, baby

To hang this one on the rack

I just want you to know that

Baby, I’m comin' back

'Cause I, I’m, I’m workin' on a mercy line

Yes, I am.

(Yes, I am.)

I, I’m, I’m workin' on a mercy line

Oh, that sweet temptation

She’s a fair-weather friend

I blew down that road

But I won’t go there again

I love you absolutely

And if there’s one thing I know

It’s gonna take you, baby

For me to get back home

I, I’m, I’m workin' on a mercy line

Yes, I am.

(Yes, I am.)

Oh, oh, oh, I, I’m, I’m workin' on a mercy line

Oh, yeah

I done a whole lot o' hurtin'

And I had a lot o' hurtin' done

But I’ll do my time

Until the healin' comes

Do what you have to do

Till I win back your trust

Our love is made of gold

Yeah, baby, gold don’t rust

So when you’re ready, willin'

And able to receive

You know just where you’ll find me

I’ll be here on my knees

I, I’m, I’m workin' on a mercy line

Yes I am.

(Yes, I am.)

I-I, I-I, I’m workin' on a mercy line

Oh, yeah

I’m workin' on a…

I’m workin' on a… (a mercy line.)

I’m workin' on a mercy line

I’m gonna walk… (I'm workin' on a…)

I’m gonna walk… (I'm workin' on a…)

I’m gonna walk, (Yes, I’m workin',)

Back into your heart, babe.

(On a mercy line.)

I’m workin' on a…

I’m workin' on a… (a mercy line.)

I’m workin' on a mercy line.

(Yes, I am.)

Just keep on walkin', baby

Just keep on walkin', baby

(I'm workin' on a mercy line.)

Just keep on walkin', baby

Just keep on walkin', baby

Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
