"Mercy" lyrics

And you can run for the hills
You can run for the hills
But I'll catch you
You can't run from me

And I'm gonna bring you back in chains
Oh, I'm gonna bring you back in chains
And hang you from the hanging tree

'Cause you can run, boy
But you can't outrun me

And he cried, "Mercy, mercy, let me go!"
And he cried, "Mercy, mercy, save my soul!"
But my gun went bang, bang, bang!
And he hit the floor
Well, I think he's there still

'Cause you can run, boy
But you can't outrun
The devil

They say you killed ten men
They say you killed ten men
But I don't
Well, I don't give a damn

And I hear you're mean as hell
Well, I hear you're mean as hell
But I'm sure you've heard
Well, I'm pretty mean as well

'Cause you can run, boy
But you can't outrun
The devil

And he cried, "Mercy, mercy, let me go!"
And he cried, "Mercy, mercy, save my soul!"
And then my gun went bang, bang, bang!
And he hit the floor
I think he's there still

'Cause you can run, boy
But you can't outrun
The devil

Yeah, when the sun breaks the sky
When the sun breaks the sky
Oh, you'll draw your final breath

'Cause you can run, boy
But can't outrun
The death

Yeah, you can run, boy
But you can't outrun
The death

And he cried, "Mercy, mercy, let me go!"
And he cried, "Mercy, mercy, save my soul!"
And then my gun went bang, bang, bang!
And he hit the floor
I think he's there still

'Cause you can run, boy
But you can't outrun
The devil
