Where the neon lights
Nearly touch the sky
And all my hopes
They stretch real high Heaven’s in my sights
But if my dreams don’t fly
May love have mercy on me

With a desperate face
And a bottle of wine
Am I at the right place?
Am I at the wrong time?
Did I miss the chance
To know your mind?
May love have mercy on me

May love have mercy on me
May love have mercy on me
And I knew from the start
This is how it would be
May love have mercy on me
It’s been too long

In the quiet hour
When the lights go down
Do you think of me?
Are you thinking of him?
Are we growing up?
Do we ever know?
May love have mercy on me

May love have mercy on me
May love have mercy on me
And I knew from the start
This is how it would be
May love have mercy on me
It’s been too long
Too long, too long, too, too long
May love have mercy on me

Hey baby, may love have mercy
May love have mercy, mercy on me
May love have mercy
May love have mercy, mercy on me
May love have mercy,
May love have mercy, mercy on me
May love have mercy,
May love have mercy, mercy on me
