[Intro]
[Verse]
Lord have mercy on my soul
I ve had about all that I can take
I get down on my knees
And each night
Well I pray
Lord give me a direction
A lamp to light my feet
Im tired of stumbling around in the dark
It s not the path I need to see
[Chorus]
Can you tell me what it is that I m missing
Please Lord, have mercy on my soul
[Verse]
Lord I m not one to tell you
What it is I need
I m just here to remind you
I m tired of being lost and lonely
Lord it feels like there s a hole
And nothing I can do will fill it
But I m gonna keep on tryin
Is it you, or the whiskey I m drinking
[Chorus]
Can you tell me what it is that I m missing
Please Lord, have mercy on my soul
Can you tell me what it is that I need
Please Lord, have mercy on my soul
