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
