Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy, please
Oh, yeah
Woke up this morning and the sky was colored gray
I gotta do a little bit better than I did with myself yesterday
Gotta keep myself from falling so far behind
Oh, keep getting myself on down the line
Alright
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, please
Cause we're running out of time
Saw my name on tombstone in a dream that I had
Oh, you know I'm running round everyday tired of feeling so sad and bad
I gotta get myself a little closer to no return
Oh, I know someday these bones are bound to burn, alright
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, please
Cause we're running out of time
Oh, that train come
Full speed ahead
It's a rumbling down the track
Well I know that train ain't stopped before
And I know that train don't know how to turn back
So I, I gotta do a little bit better than a once I did
Oh, stop hiding behind my hat like I'm a little kid
Keep on pushing down the road and do a little bit better
Than once I done
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, please
Cause we're running out of time
Oh, everybody, everybody
We're running out of time
Oh everybody, everybody
We're running out of time
Oh, yeah
Have mercy, have mercy
Yeah
