Down on mercy road,
There’s a man with voodoo eyes,
He talks in tongues,
And holds his hands to the sky,
A drifter all of his life,
The streets he called his home,
He was haunted by a love,
That wouldn’t let go of his soul,
21st century blues,
So many people are living with pain,
No one ever felt the sunshine,
Without feeling a little rain,
So baby,
Please don’t tread on me,
There’s an eerie haunting feeling,
Your future has already been written,
So live just to make it through,
Physic illusions drift but we won’t live for you,
The long road to redemption,
Leads to an empty church,
With silent eyes gazing,
The seven suns lit and then they burst,
21st century blues,
So many people are living with pain,
No one ever felt the sunshine,
Without feeling a little rain,
So baby,
Please don’t tread on me,
