Quit your gripping, shine your shoes
I'll tell you a little secret for your blues
Don't make no difference who is watching from the stands

Lord, have mercy on me

The words will change the heart
The words will change the heart
The words will change the heart
The words will change the heart
Lord, have mercy on me, Lord, have mercy on me
