Mercenary Territory Lyrics

Mercenary Territory lyrics

music by Lowell George, Richie Hayward

-- lyrics by Lowell George 



Is it the lies? 

Is it the style? 



It's a mercenary territory 

I wish you knew the story 

I've been out here so long dreamin up songs 

I'm temporarily qualmless and sinking 



I've did my time in that rodeo 

It's been so long and I've got nothing to show 

Well I'm so plain loco 

Fool that I am I'd do it all over again 



Is it the style? 

Is it the lies? 

Is it the days into nights 

Or the "I'm sorry"s into fights 



Now some kind of man, he can't do anything wrong 

If I see him I'll tell him you're waiting 

'Cause I'm devoted for sure but my days are a blur 

Well your nights turn into my mornings 



Well I did my time in that rodeo 

Fool that I am I'd do it all over again 



Is it love keeps you waiting so long 

Makes you say I'll see you around 

The forces that be, they just don't see 

While your nights turn into my mornings 



Is it the style? 

Is it the lies? 

Is it the days into nights 

Or the "I'm sorrys" into fights
