Lord Have Mercy On My Soul Lyrics
I've walked through the Halls Of Karma
I shook hands with both the devil and god
They turned my eyes to the inside to see
Where my energies have gone
Yes i've run with both all my life
I've respected and reflected both
Yes the sympathy of God as he looked
At my life the excitement of the devil as we talked
So lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul
The devil said, "Scratch my back and i'll scratch your back for sure"
So you have done all these sins for him
My heart could not be pure
I found out what means more to me
Than anything on this earth
To be ready for my judgement day
Ready to face the truth
So lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul
I hope i've done the right things
For both your sake and mine
I preach in what I live for
My only fear is fear of time
I wanted to look logical
To both my "Maker" and his host
But this trip of life must be complete
Or my cards will be lost
So lord please have mercy on my soul
I shook hands with both the devil and god
They turned my eyes to the inside to see
Where my energies have gone
Yes i've run with both all my life
I've respected and reflected both
Yes the sympathy of God as he looked
At my life the excitement of the devil as we talked
Lord have mercy on my soul
So you have done all these sins for him
My heart could not be pure
I found out what means more to me
Than anything on this earth
To be ready for my judgement day
Ready to face the truth
Lord have mercy on my soul
For both your sake and mine
I preach in what I live for
My only fear is fear of time
I wanted to look logical
To both my "Maker" and his host
But this trip of life must be complete
Or my cards will be lost

This used to be a really great southern hit, and no comments!???!!!
Great song though...
Yes, that is different. These guys were really a great southern rock band, and they are probably remembered for this song, and "Jim Dandy".
