[Laughing.]
I was a little bit foolish,
And I got a whole lot of pride.
It took a whole lot of hammerin,
To get through this head of mine.
But, I aint ready, baby,
To hang this one on the rack.
I just want you to know that,
Baby, Im comin back.
Cause I, Im, Im workin on a mercy line.
Yes, I am. (Yes, I am.)
I, Im, Im workin on a mercy line.
Oh, that sweet temptation,
Shes a fair-weather friend.
I blew down that road,
But I wont go there again.
I love you absolutely,
And if theres one thing I know.
Its gonna take you, baby,
For me to get back home.
I, Im, Im workin on a mercy line.
Yes, I am. ( Yes, I am.)
Oh, oh, oh, I, Im, Im workin on a mercy line.
Oh, yeah.
I done a whole lot o hurtin,
And I had a lot o hurtin done.
But Ill do my time,
Until the healin comes.
[Instrumental break.]
Do what you have to do,
Till I win back your trust .
Our love is made of gold,
Yeah, baby, gold dont rust.
So when youre ready, willin
And able to receive.
You know just where youll find me,
Ill be here on my knees.
I, Im, Im workin on a mercy line.
Yes I am. (Yes, I am.)
I-I, I-I, Im workin on a mercy line.
Oh, yeah.

Back into your heart, babe. (On a mercy line.)
