I got turned around
in some little town I'd
never been to before
Workin' my way through
a middle of June
Midnight thunderstorm
There was somethin' in
the headlights
that stopped me on a dime
Well she was scared to death
So I said climb in
And in she climbed
Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Well she was bruised and
broke from head to toe
With a tear in her
blood-stained shirt
She didn't tell the whole truth
But she didn't have to
I knew what had
happenеd to her
I didn't load her down
with questions
That girl had been
through еnough
I just threw it in drive
Looked in those eyes
And I asked her where he was
I don't know if he's an angel
'Cause angels don't
do what he did
He was ****bent to find
the man behind
All the whiskey scars I hid
I never thought my day
of justice
Would come from a judge
under his seat
But I knew right then
I'd never get hit again
when he said to me
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
Well I knocked and knocked
And no one came
So I kicked in his
double-wide door
I let the hammer drop
before he got to that
twelve he was reachin' for
I didn't try to hide my pistol
I didn't even try to run
I just sat on the porch smokin'
one of his cigarettes
And waited for the cops
to come
I don't know if he's an angel
'Cause angels don't
do what he did
He was ****bent to find
the man behind
All the whiskey scars I hid
I never thought my day
of justice
Would come from a judge
under his seat
But I knew right then
I'd never get hit again
when he said to me
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
Wo oh
Oh oh
Have mercy on me Lord
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me Lord
It's been sixty months
And she still comes to
see me from time to time
It was worth the price
to see a brighter side of the
girl I picked up that night
And I might be here forever
It ain't paradise
That's true
But it's a whole **** of a
lot better
than the place I sent him to
Yeah
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
Have mercy on me Lord
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me Lord
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
Wait in the truck
Just wait in the truck
