Lyrics of Revival by Zach Bryan
Verse 1
Gather ’round this table, boys
Bring your shame, I’ll lose my voice
Screaming at the gods about the bad we’ve done
Merle said Mama tried, but the prison still won
Verse 2
Your transgressions are mine as well
Anger grows in my bones if you could not tell
But I’ll find comfort in company
Lord, forgive us, my boys and me
Chorus
We’re having an all-night revival
Someone call the women and someone steal the Bible
For the sake of my survival
Baptize me in a bottle of Beam, put Johnny on the vinyl
Verse 3
Well, the devil can scrap but the Lord has won
And I’ll talk to him under risin’ sun
His son rose and mine did too
I was coming down, but now I’m talkin’ to you
Chorus
‘Cause we’re having an all-night revival
Someone call the women and someone steal the Bible
For the sake of my survival
Baptize me in a bottle of Beam, put Johnny on the vinyl
Chorus
So we’re having an all-night revival
Someone call the women and someone steal the Bible
For the sake of my survival
Baptize me in a bottle of Beam, put Johnny on the vinyl
Outro
Gather ’round this table, boys
Bring your shame, I’ll lose my voice
Screaming at the gods about the bad we’ve done
Merle said Mama tried, but the prison still won
