See, I was on the east coast ...of the things I have (?) I saw a woman and a man Become a husband and a wife Under a beautiful tree Bird flew down and landed on my head I felt best and special, but that bird don't fly off with a feather MERCY! [x8] I'm able to see that feather again Well, I need a change of scenery so I headed back west I put holes in my shoes, I had dirt on my clothes I looked like I am robbin the bank machine Things started lookin up, when I manage to regain you (?) One of the pom-pom girls from the outer west offered to drive me home MERCY! [x8] M-E-R-C-Y [x4] MERCY! (mercy...) [x4] Ooo, I really needed that drive. When Mary Lou dropped me off I was feeling bent out of shape She had reminded me That almost anything can happen Cause if I did not choose this life Then it must've chose me I don't know which is worse I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see
