Dierks Bentley Distant Shore song lyrics

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

'til 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 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
