The Last Ride to Mercy - Dark Country

Описание: Lyrics

[Verse]
There were guns drawn when I rode into Mercy
I'd left my name on the town
They were callin' me a devil
Callin' me a thief
I was callin' it even now
So I sat down at the bar
Had a drink with the past
He said
"I didn't think you'd ever come back"
I told him
"Well
I'm here
And I didn't come to fight
But if you want it
You can have it tonight"

[Pre-Chorus]
He said
"What are you doin' back here anyway?"
I told him
"Atonin'"

[Chorus]
I told 'em I could fix what I'd broke
Rebuild the town or I could hang from a rope
And they said
"No
You better go
Get on down the road
You can rebuild a town but you can't heal a soul"

[Verse 2]
Well
The next morning
I got up and I saddled my horse
And I was halfway gone by the time the sun rose
And in my heart
I thought maybe one day
That I could fix it and they might let me stay

[Chorus]
And I told 'em I could fix what I'd broke
Rebuild the town or I could hang from a rope
And they said
"No
You better go
Get on down the road
You can rebuild a town but you can't heal a soul"

[Bridge]
The train blew in and the preacher stepped off
He said
"Are you ready to give up?"
I said
"I ain't afraid of the cross"
And I put my hands in his cuffs
