[Verse 1]
Got a tin cup on my table
And a rent note in my shoe
The icebox looking hungry
Just like my old heartbreak too
I been working every sunrise
For a dollar and a prayer
But the bills come back in circles
Like they got my name in there
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I keep on walking
With my collar bent low
I keep on talking
To the road I know
[Chorus]
Give me that tin cup mercy
Give me that tin cup mercy
When the night gets heavy
Don’t let me fall too far
Give me that tin cup mercy
(Tin cup mercy)
Give me that tin cup mercy
(mercy, mercy)
[Verse 2]
My old dog on the porch steps
Still waits like I’m coming home
Mama’s chair stays empty
But it still don’t sit alone
I burned through all my easy
I spent my last clean pride
Now I’m down to truth and trouble
And a little hurt inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I keep on walking
With my collar bent low
I keep on talking
To the road I know
[Chorus]
Give me that tin cup mercy
Give me that tin cup mercy
When the night gets heavy
Don’t let me fall too far
Give me that tin cup mercy
(Tin cup mercy)
Give me that tin cup mercy
(mercy, mercy)
[Bridge]
If the river takes my shadow
Let it keep the shame
If I got to start all over
I’ll still sing my name
One more bend in the highway
One more bend, that’s all
Then I’ll stand here laughing
When the hard times call
[Chorus]
Give me that tin cup mercy
Give me that tin cup mercy
When the night gets heavy
Don’t let me fall too far
Give me that tin cup mercy
(Tin cup mercy)
Give me that tin cup mercy
(mercy, mercy)
