The Revenants - Forever Lyrics

I was born by a ragin' river
In the dead of night and darkest winter
Opened my eyes
Couldn't see the light of day
Then I cried, yes I cried
Seemed like forever

Mama always called me her child of sorrow
No hope today, no hope tomorrow
On the day my mama died
While my little sisters cried
I ran, yes I ran
Seemed like forever

I took to wanderin' across this land
Through the neon streets and
Across the burnin' sands
Every night I'd lay me down
Before my head would hit the ground
I'd pray, yes I'd pray
Seemed like forever

Preacher always told me
You'd better mend your ways
Turn your life to Jesus
And his amazing grace
I don't know what Jesus said
But I know that when I'm dead
I'm gone, yes I'll be gone
Maybe forever

I've been ridin' long and hard
My horse as nearly died
It's a long and lonely trail
A midnight ride to each new hell I find

I was born by a ragin' river
In the dead of night and darkest winter
Opened my eyes
Couldn't see the light of day
Then I cried, yes I cried
Seemed like forever

Preacher always told me
You'd better mend your ways
Turn your life to Jesus
And his amazing grace
I don't know what Jesus said
But I know that when I'm dead
I'm gone, yes I'll be gone
Maybe forever

I've been ridin' long and hard
My horse as nearly died
It's a long and lonely trail
A midnight ride to each new hell I find
