Reverend

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 [Chorus] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Solos] [Chorus]
