- Beautiful version that really let each member shine. Originally done by Greensky Bluegrass which is one of Billy’s favorite bands.
First time catching this I believe.
Was hoping for a couple songs this weekend that didn’t happen.
This made up for it big time. Great couple of nights and the crowd was really into it. Wish I had continued filming after the end of the song because the crowd was cheering louder and longer than after any song this weekend.
Reverend
Lyrics (written by Paul Hoffman)
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?
Whose 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?
Can you carry more
If you leave me back?
What’s left to take?
Whose lives come last?
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
Can you carry more
If you leave me back?
What’s left to take?
Whose lives come last?
