Reverend Lyrics by Hunter Root

Arkansas

2023

[Verse 1]
Reverend, reverend, my soul is tired
Tried to break the whip and post and put out the fire
Hell to pay if they have it their way
They said I had it comin' on my very first day

[Verse 2]
Reverend, reverend, I don’t understand
People try to tell me that I'm not who I am
Reverend, reverend, give your guidance to me
So I can shrug it off like it's all just make-believе, oh

[Verse 3]
Warden, warden, I’ll pay my dues
Makе me pay 'em in a single afternoon
Reverend, reverend, it just don't make sense
Lead me to the water just to put up a fence, oh

[Chorus]
Lord, makes no sense at all
Lord, makes no sense at all
Lead me to the water just to put up a fence, Lord
Lord, makes no sense at all
Lead me to the water just to put up a fence, Lord
Lord, makes no sense at all

[Verse 4]
Reverend, reverend, my tongue is tied
Twisten every truth till it turned to a lie
Reverend, reverend, we'll have Hell to pay
When the phony high finally fades away

[Verse 5]
Reverend, reverend, I don't understand
People try to tell me that I'm not who I am
Reverend, reverend, no it don't make sense
Lead me to the water just to put up a fence, oh

[Chorus]
Lord, makes no sense at all
Lord, makes no sense at all
Lead me to the water just to put up a fence, Lord
Lord, makes no sense at all
Lead me to the water just to put up a fence, Lord
Lord, makes no sense at all
