Dierks Bentley Distant Shore Lyrics

Distant Shore 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

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
