Po' Girl Mercy
I was headed for the border, trying to get back on my feet
Though the nights were getting colder, I'm remembering the heat
My desire burning like flame, like the desert wants the rain
Calling like a freight train, coming back to you again
ch
And I say mercy , mercy me, I can't get no peace
I say mercy, mercy me, I can't get no peace
I was feeling so much older, this wicked world seemed cruel and hard
'Til I laid my weary shoulders on a bed of california stars
Was it something in the moonlight ? souls were stirring up the air
Waves were washing on the shoreline, there was magic everywhere
