He was seen in Oklahoma, on a sidewalk in the rain Someone said he looked a little bit like Jesus as a teen There was this old country angel, he used to be an engineer He made most of rock n'roll, what it is in our ears Life will take you on a ride Like a circus ferries wheel But you got to buy a ticket And you know how that can feel Life can be a roller coaster But, towards the end of the night It's gonna be alright 'Cause love has mercy in her eyes I saw him once in Tulsa, he was walking out a door He had the face of a man that had seen to much war His old memories were in the Army, well he'd been to Iraq And everybody knows how tired we are of all that Life will take you on a ride Like a circus ferries wheel But you got to buy a ticket And you know how that can feel Life can be a roller coaster But, towards the end of the night It's gonna be alright 'Cause love has mercy in her eyes I like the way she irons her clothes Sometimes she cries when things ain't right She sees me new, every morning I don't know why, I don't know why They said he made a couple movies And robbed a county bank They said he dressed like Johnny Cash And he never ever drank He was happy in his mind And lonesome in his stroll He would take your melody and probably touch your soul Life will take you on a ride Like a circus ferries wheel But you got to buy a ticket And you know how that can feel Life can be a roller coaster But, towards the end of the night It's gonna be alright 'Cause love has mercy in her eyes
