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 distant shore
where i won't miss you anymore
Someday i�m gonna get there
it might take my last prayer
But one these days im 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
