2023Writer(s): Michael Hardy, Renee Blair, Hunter Phelps, Jordan Schmidt(feat. Lainey Wilson)I got turned around in some little townI''d never been to beforeWorking my way through a middle-of-JuneMidnight thunderstormThere was something in the headlightsIt stopped me on a dimeWell, she was scared to death, so I said''Climb in'' and in she climbedOh, yeahWell, she was bruised and broke from head to toeWith a tear in her blood-stained shirtShe didn''t tell the whole truth, but she didn''t have toI knew what had happened to herI didn''t load her down with questionsThat girl had been through enoughI just threw it in drive, looked in those eyesAnd I asked her where he wasI don''t know if he''s an angel''Cause angels don''t do what he didHe was hellbent to find the man behindAll the whiskey scars I hidI never thought my day of justiceWould come from a judge under a seatBut I knew right then I''d never get hit againWhen he said to meWait in the truckJust wait in the truckWell, I knocked and knocked and no one cameSo, I kicked in his double-wide doorI let the hammer drop before he gotTo that twelve he was reaching forI didn''t try to hide my pistolI didn''t even try to runI just sat on the porch smoking one of his cigarettesAnd waited for the cops to comeI don''t know if he''s an angel''Cause angels don''t do what he didHe was hellbent to find the man behindAll the whiskey scars I hidI never thought my day of justiceWould come from a judge under a seatBut I knew right then I''d never get hit againWhen he said to meWait in the truckJust wait in the truckWhoa (whoa)Have mercy on me, LordHave mercy on meHave mercy on me (hey), LordIt''s been sixty months and she still comesTo see me from time to timeIt was worth the price to see a brighter sideOf the girl I picked up that nightAnd I might be here foreverIt ain''t paradise that''s trueBut it''s whole hell of a lot betterThan the place I sent him to, yeahThank you!(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)Wait in the truck (have mercy on me)Just wait in the truck(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)Wait in the truck (Lord, have mercy)Just wait in the truck(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)Have mercy on me, LordHave mercy on me(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)Have mercy on me, Lord(Have mercy on me)(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)Wait in the truckJust wait in the truck(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)Wait in the truckJust wait in the truck (have mercy)
