Distant Shore

Every day I swim an ocean

Fightin' your memory like endless waves

I've surrendered 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'll ride the river

Of whiskey wishes from an old shot glass

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

But one of these days I'm gonna cross that ocean

Some sweet angel will set me free

And they'll tell my story, 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
