Distant Shore
Everyday I swim an ocean Fightin' your memory like endless waves I surrender to the truth, I'll always love you But I know someday, I'm gonna reach the banks Of a distant shore where I won't miss you anymore Once in a while I ride the river Of whiskey wishes from an old shot gla*s But the way it used to be follows me downstream So I keep knockin' 'em back till I reach the banks Of a distant shore, where I won't miss you anymore Someday I'm gonna get there It might take my last prayer One of these days I'm gonna cross that ocean Some sweet angel will set me free And they'll tell my stories, sing a song about glory And read Psalm 23 when I reach the banks Of that distant shore, where I won't miss you anymore Gonna rest my soul in the hands of the Lord Where I won't miss you anymore
