Jordan’s Shore
Well you know I never had life easy
All the bullies would come tease me
With fast fists I’d hit the ground hard
Got paranoid keeping up my guard
I’m tired Lord don’t think I can walk no more
In the distance I hear the river roar
Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore
Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore
At twenty I flew into the cuckoo’s nest
I thought life was over I needed rest
I wondered what’s the meaning of this
I knew love was something not to miss
I’m tired Lord don’t think I can walk no more
In the distance I hear the river roar
Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore
Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore
Well a hero is one who just keeps on
A friend is someone to lean upon
Where were my brothers when the rain fell
Where was my lover when life was hell
I’m tired Lord don’t think I can walk no more
In the distance I hear the river roar
Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore
Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore
I was dreaming of West Virginia green
It’s by far the nicest place I’ve been
There something of suffering I must say
You get strong walking the lonesome way
When I die I don’t want to be grieved
I want to leave better than I received
Everybody got themselves their own song
It’s so sad when they had the lyrics wrong
I’m tired Lord don’t think I can walk no more
In the distance I hear the river roar
Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore
Oh Lord I pray I’ve reached Jordan’s shore
