Mercy Me

by David McDonald



Will you come down to the Highway 1

Stay a little while honey at the sea

I know you’ve been underneath that gun

Aw, come on down to the Highway 1

Got a little place there called Jade Beach

I know a little place we could stay for free

Nestled way up on a mountain road

Imma lay my head up on your shoulder


Highway 1, Highway 1

Stay by the ocean on the Highway 1

Might be right time, sand and sun 

If you come on down to the Highway 1


What can I say gonna have some food

Peaches, plums and orchids too

You and me got the fresh produce, if you come down to the Highway 1


Highway 1, Highway 1

Staying by the ocean on the Highway 1

Might be right time, sand and sun 

If you come on down to the Highway 1


Once I was hanging by the highway there 

I got swirled in the ocean stare

Round and round with the salt in the air

Then I had a friend lay a hand on my shoulder 


Highway 1, Highway 1

Staying by the ocean on the Highway 1

Might be right time, sand and sun 

If you come on down to the Highway 1
