Mercy Don't Ride Alone | Christian Outlaw Country

A drifter who's outrun the law a hundred times finally stops running, because the mercy chasing him was never trying to catch him, just ride beside him. Browncoat Sinners - hard roads, dirty hands, still prayin'. 🎵 Lyrics below [Intro] (Mm... mm...) [Verse 1] I've been running since Laredo With the sheriff on my trail Every sin I ever carried Rides beside me like a nail Through my hands and through my conscience Every mile I've paid in blood But there's a whisper in the wind Sayin' grace can outrun mud [Verse 2] Momma's Bible in my saddlebag Pages torn but words still true I've outrun the law a hundred times But I never outran You Every campfire, every canyon Every gun I've had to draw There's a shadow ridin' with me That ain't the devil, no, it's more [Pre-Chorus] And I used to think that ridin' free Meant ridin' on my own But the miles kept gettin' harder And I never rode alone [Chorus] Mercy don't ride alone No, mercy don't ride alone Through the dust and through the danger Through the sins I've never known There's a hand upon my shoulder On this road I thought I'd own I been runnin' from forgiveness But mercy don't ride alone [Verse 3] Buried a man in Amarillo Buried more of me that day Told myself I'd earned my endin' In some ditch along the way But the sky cracked open golden Like a door I couldn't see And the voice I heard was gentle Sayin' "son, come ride with me" [Pre-Chorus] And I used to think that ridin' free Meant ridin' on my own But the miles kept gettin' harder And I never rode alone [Chorus] Mercy don't ride alone No, mercy don't ride alone Through the dust and through the danger Through the sins I've never known There's a hand upon my shoulder On this road I thought I'd own I been runnin' from forgiveness But mercy don't ride alone [Bridge] Every scar I own's a map back To the mercy that I ran from Every tear I've spilled at midnight Was the start of comin' home Lay the pistol in the river Let the current take the weight I don't need to earn this crossin' Mercy's been the one to wait [Final Chorus] Mercy don't ride alone No, mercy don't ride alone Through the dust and through the danger Now I'm finally comin' home There's a hand upon my shoulder And I'm layin' down my own I stopped runnin' from forgiveness 'Cause mercy don't ride alone [Outro] Mercy... don't ride alone Not anymore 🔔 Subscribe for new dark outlaw country every week. #DarkCountry #OutlawCountry #GothicCountry
