[Verse 1]
Seems like findin' love is harder
Than I'd ever thought it'd be
Oh mercy, oh mercy me
Been holdin' onto nothing
Now it's tearin' at the seams
Oh mercy, oh mercy me
[Chorus]
And it's whoa, oh whoa
Why do I run?
And it's whoa, oh whoa
The things I've done
Burning eyes and troubled dreams
You beat all I've ever seen
Oh mercy, oh mercy me
[Verse 2]
My hands are on the reins
And I'm runnin' wide open
I'm beaten and I'm broken
Still starin' down the sun
And all them weary days
And fallen loves behind me
Your gentle ways remind me of the man I wish I was
[Chorus]
And it's whoa, oh whoa
Why do I run?
And it's whoa, oh whoa
The things I've done
Burning eyes and troubled dreams
You beat all I've ever seen
Oh mercy, oh mercy me
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
And it's whoa, oh whoa
Why do I run?
And it's whoa, oh whoa
The things I've done
Burning eyes and troubled dreams
You beat all I've ever seen
Oh mercy, oh mercy me
[Outro]
Seems like findin' love is harder
Than I'd ever thought it'd be
Oh mercy, oh mercy me
Been holdin' onto nothing
Now it's tearin' at the seams
Oh mercy, oh mercy me
