Wait in the Truck - Hardy ft Lainey Wilson (lyrics) I got turned around in some little town I\u0027d never been to before Working my way through a middle-of-June Midnight thunderstorm There was something in the headlights It stopped me on a dime Well, she was scared to death, so I said \u0022Climb in\u0022, and in she climbed Oh, yeah Well, she was bruised and broke from head to toe With a tear in her blood-stained shirt She didn\u0027t tell the whole truth but she didn\u0027t have to I knew what had happened to her I didn\u0027t load her down with questions That girl had been through enough I just threw it in drive, looked in those eyes And I asked her where he was I don\u0027t know if he\u0027s an angel \u0027Cause angels don\u0027t do what he did He was hellbent to find the man behind All the whiskey scars I hid I never thought my day of justice Would come from a judge under a seat But I knew right then I\u0027d 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 reaching for I didn\u0027t try to hide my pistol I didn\u0027t even try to run I just sat on the porch, smoking one of his cigarettes And waited for the cops to come I don\u0027t know if he\u0027s an angel \u0027Cause angels don\u0027t do what he did He was hellbent to find the man behind All the whiskey scars I hid I never thought my day of justice Would come from a judge under a seat But I knew right then I\u0027d never get hit again When he said to me Wait in the truck Just wait in the truck Whoa (whoa) Have mercy on me, Lord Have mercy on me Have mercy on me (hey), Lord It\u0027s 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\u0027t paradise, that\u0027s true But it\u0027s whole hell of a lot better Than the place I sent him to, yeah (Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me) 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, have mercy, have mercy on me) Have mercy on me, Lord Have mercy on me (Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me) Have mercy on me, Lord (Have mercy on me) (Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me) Wait in the truck Just wait in the truck (Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me) Wait in the truck Just wait in the truck (have mercy)
