lyrics

I've been walking through the desert
living like an honest man
looking for relief, just to take a seat
trying to figure out if I can
trying to figure out if I can
I ain't afraid of the devil
think he's afraid of me
you would be too if you could see what I can do
walk the mercy side of the street lord, lord
walk the mercy side of the street

there's a part of me that can't be seen
its not something that I want to be
rock and roll stars all sanctified
I wish to god they all were crucified

I went looking for answers
searched every corner of the world
nothing I could see told me how to be
only thing that mattered was a girl
only thing that mattered was a girl
if you are looking for an answer
baby, listen closely to the stream
they say the color blue will always tell you what to do
walk the mercy side of the street lord, lord
walk the mercy side of the street

there's a part of every one of us
that you shouldn't live with or trust
and I think it's dangerous to try
eventually you'll need an alibi

somewhere out there is redemption
if you can take a higher path
if you're like me, drowning in the sea,
don't you criticize me when I laugh
don't you criticize me when I laugh
see I got sympathy for the devil
and I got sympathy for Keith
you can try every way but to reach a better day
you've got to walk down mercy street lord, lord
walk the mercy side of the street
walk down that street
mercy, mercy
walk down that street,
mercy, mercy
