Lyrics
Driving down Mercy Road, down Mercy Road to your door.
Gonna love you like never before, when you open the door.
Like a bird with a broken wing, I can't fly but I can sing.
You're my shelter. You're my song and the reason I go on.
Driving down Mercy Road. Simple and true.
At the end of the road I find you reaching out like you always do.
Like a bird with a broken wing, I can't fly but I can sing.
You're my shelter. You're my song and the reason I go on.
I know I'm a hard man to love.
I know, at times, it's been rough.
But I'm trying. I'm trying.
Driving down Mercy Road, down Mercy Road to your door.
Gonna love you like never before, when you open the door
