Mercy Buckets Lyrics - Go-go Boots - Drive By Truckers

When all your good days keep getting shorter 

Count on me 

When you're about twenty-cents shy of a quarter 

Count on me 

When you just need a place to hide out for a while 

I'll help you hide the bodies in a little while 

I will bring you buckets of mercy 

And hold your hand when you're crossing the street 

Play a song if you want it 

And when you woke up on the wrong side of the bed 

Call on me 

And if you're feeling that freight train running through your head 

Call on me 

If you just need a friend to talk to 

Or maybe not talk at all 

I will bring you buckets of mercy 

And put a smile back on your pretty face 

Bring a shovel if you want it 

Carry your secrets to my grave 

When you're down and out 

I'll pick you up down at the station 

Give your hard times some vacation 

And get you headed on your way 

I will bring you buckets of mercy 

And hold your hand when you're crossing the street 

Pay your bail if you need it 

And I will be your saving grace 

I will be your saving grace 

Oh, I will be your saving grace
