Have Mercy - Pete Rose and Babe Ruth lyrics
rate meI'll tell you how it went
And all the time we spent
Trying to make something of us
Something we knew
But never was
Laid faced down on the bed
And spoke in tongues with the dead
The times you saw me lose my cool
The stares were blank,
The words were cruel
But what if
I was the problem the whole time?
Well, I'd beg forgiveness and oblige
The ground just opened wide
And ate me whole
Why am I so happy
I could die?
There were no words to say “goodbye,”
The ground just opened wide
And ate you whole
Figured they'd figure out soon
They never put a man on the moon
And no one knows the truth
Pete Rose and Babe Ruth
What if you got there to see
That it's not what you believed?
No blinding lights or smiling teeth
I'd tell you "you were wrong all along"
And you'd tell me
That you hate me
But what if
I was the problem the whole time?
Well, I'd beg forgiveness and oblige
The ground just opened wide
And ate me whole
Why am I so happy
I could die?
There were no words to say “goodbye,”
The ground just opened wide
And ate you whole
I'm always looking for the answers
And wondering why
The rules were ever made for us
If we never abide
I'm always looking for the answers
And wondering why
The rules were ever made for us
If we never abide
I'm always looking for the answers
And wondering why
The rules were ever made for us
If we never abide
I'm always looking for the answers
And wondering why
The rules were ever made for us
If we never abide
But what if
I was the problem the whole time?
Well, I'd beg forgiveness and oblige
The ground just opened wide
And ate me whole
Why am I so happy
I could die?
There were no words to say “goodbye,”
And the ground just opened wide
