Wait In The Truck Song Lyrics by HARDY
I got turned around in some little townI’d never been to beforeWorking my way through a middle-of-JuneMidnight thunderstorm
There was something in the headlightsIt stopped me on a dimeWell, she was scared to death, so I said“Climb in, ” and then she climbedOh, yeah
Well, she was bruised and broke from head to toeWith a tear in her blood-stained shirtShe didn’t tell the whole truth, but she didn’t have toI knew what had happened to her
I didn’t load her down with questionsThat girl had been through enoughI just threw it in drive, looked in those eyesAnd I asked her where he was
I don’t know if he’s an angel‘Cause angels don’t do what he didHe was hellbent to find the man behindAll the whiskey scars I hid
I never thought my day of justiceWould come from a judge under a seatBut I knew right then I’d never get hit againWhen he said to me
“Wait in the truckJust wait in the truck”
Well, I knocked and knocked and no one cameSo I kicked in his double-wide doorI let the hammer drop before he gotTo that 12 he was reaching for
I didn’t try to hide my pistolI didn’t even try to runI just sat on the porch, smoking one of his cigarettesAnd waited for the cops to come
I don’t know if he’s an angel‘Cause angels don’t do what he didHe was hellbent to find the man behindAll the whiskey scars I hid
I never thought my day of justiceWould come from a judge under a seatBut I knew right then I’d never get hit againWhen he said to me
“Wait in the truckJust wait in the truck”Whoa (whoa)Have mercy on me, LordHave mercy on meHave mercy on me (hey), Lord
It’s been 60 months and she still comesTo see me from time to timeIt was worth the price, to see a brighter sideOf the girl I picked up that night
And I might be here foreverIt ain’t paradise, that’s trueBut it’s whole hell of a lot betterThan the place I sent him to, yeah
Wait in the truck (have mercy on me)Just wait in the truck(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)Wait in the truck (Lord, have mercy)Just wait in the truck
have mercy on me, LordHave mercy on me(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me) have mercy on me, LordHave mercy on me(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me) wait in the truckJust wait in the truck(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me) wait in the truckJust wait in the truck (please have me mercy)
