Lyrics
[verse]
gonna stand here on the tracks
wondering which way i should go
i see a light coming is it an angel or a train
i'm not sure i wanna know
[chorus]
mercy, on me
i've cried all the tears that i had
now i know, i should have took a diff'rent path
[verse]
gonna have to face the music now
dance away the pain each day
she was listening to that damn radio
she knew ev'ry single song by name
[chorus]
mercy, on me
dried up from all the tears i've cried
soar over this desert, fly baby fly
[break]
[bridge]
she's gone on down that road
sorry baby i couldn't carry that load
a sentimental contigent with a cherub on a rock
endless talking baby, now wave goodbye
[solo]
[solo]
[verse]
gonna stand here on the tracks
watching as the night into day dawns
i see a light coming is it an angel or a train
here's hoping it doesn't take too long
[chorus]
mercy, on me
i've cried all the tears that i had
now i know, i should have took a diff'rent path
[outro]
gonna stand here on the tracks
watchin' the light come my way
is that an angel or a freight train
|ritard|
i guess it matters just the same
[end]
