Reverend - Greensky Bluegrass

Couple beers with the reverend

Am I safe from the night?

More money to the system

Am I free from the fight?

I left myself behind in my home town

Went looking for a new place, you won’t find me around

I made peace with my country

Though I never could believe

Somebody else’s struggle

Is the reason that I flee

There’s none that miss me, they never thought I’d go

So many things about me, nobody seems to know

Can you carry more

If you leave me back?

What’s left to take?

Who’s lives come last?

I can find fewer reasons

Against the need to run

Than my hands to bear a burden

A weight I can’t overcome

There are reasons I worry, there are answers I fear

Is there love enough to save us?

Will it find us out here?

I counted my fortunes

With time left to spare

My doubts all outnumbered

Regardless of what’s fair

Need to find a way to carry myself through the day

Let grief lie behind me and learn to look away
