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
