Revelation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m crashin’, I’m burnin’, I’m Whitley on the bourbon
There’s a sunrise in the curtains, I’m blacked out on purpose
She’s sleepin’ like an angel, I’m home, cats in the cradle
Need some Billy Graham on that cable instead of Jim Beam sittin’ on the table

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh
I’m a long, long way from home
Ooh
But I still see it from the smoke

[Chorus]
I wish I still sang to Jesus like the way we used to do at church
Now throw ’em out from shore, go around the horn three of three down in the first
I been goin’ too hard, I slipped pretty far
Yeah, mama and Heaven both know
I’m a man on the run with a hand on the gun
I’m a father and a son who needs that holy ghost

[Verse 2]
There’s a Chevron ‘cross the highway with the lights on
And I’m trippin’ on the blue and red, she smoked my last cigarette
Yeah, it’s one of those nights where I’m gonna be up all night
I’m seein’ burning out stars in her eyes, it ain’t why God made a sunrise

[Chorus]
I wish I still sang to Jesus like the way we used to do at church
Now throw ’em out from shore, go around the horn three of three down in the first
I been goin’ too hard, I slipped pretty far
Yeah, mama and Heaven both know
I’m a man on the run with a hand on the gun
I’m a father and a son who needs that holy ghost

[Bridge]
Too young to feel this old
Too drunk to even know
Where I’m gonna end up
Where I’m gonna go

[Bridge]
Ooh
I’m a long, long way from home
Ooh
Too early, too late to get somebody on the phone

[Chorus]
I wish I still sang to Jesus like the way we used to do at church
Now throw ’em out from shore, go around the horn three of three down in the first
I been goin’ too hard, I slipped pretty far
Yeah, mama and Heaven both know
I’m a man on the run with a hand on the gun
I’m a father and a son who needs that holy ghost

[Outro]
I’m a hard one to love, yeah, it runs in my blood
I’m a father and a son who needs that holy ghost

Revelation Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Morgan Wallen opens with a scene of emotional and physical unraveling—he’s drinking heavily, referencing country legend Keith Whitley to emphasize the level of heartbreak he’s enduring. The sunrise creeping in while he’s still awake implies a long night of self-medication, and his surroundings—like the unopened bourbon and the cat’s cradle metaphor—highlight the chaos in his personal life. The contrast between his own disarray and the peaceful sleep of the woman nearby illustrates his growing detachment and sense of spiritual loss.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, Wallen acknowledges his emotional distance from home—not just physically, but spiritually and morally. The smoke becomes a symbolic barrier, obscuring his connection to the values and comfort he once knew. Despite this haze, a part of him can still glimpse the place or feeling he’s lost, underscoring his inner conflict and lingering hope.

[Chorus]
This section dives deep into Wallen’s regret and yearning for the faith he once held. The comparison to singing in church as a child evokes nostalgia and the simplicity of past convictions. Sports metaphors convey a sense of failure and missed opportunities, while his candid admission of losing control underscores the song’s theme of spiritual and personal drift. He identifies himself as a man in danger—armed, wounded, and running—yet still tethered by roles like father and son, which hint at his desire for redemption and reconnection through faith.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, Wallen describes a tense, disoriented night filled with regret and isolation. The flashing lights suggest trouble, either legal or emotional, and the mention of his last cigarette being smoked by someone else reveals a feeling of emptiness and disconnection. He gazes into the eyes of a woman who doesn’t provide salvation but reminds him of the stars burning out—beauty fading, purpose lost. This contrasts with the hope traditionally associated with sunrise, deepening the song’s theme of spiritual crisis.

[Chorus]
Repeated here, the chorus reinforces Wallen’s longing for spiritual grounding and his guilt over how far he’s fallen. The imagery and tone remain consistent, emphasizing that he’s aware of the damage he’s done and the divine guidance he needs to find his way back.

[Bridge]
Wallen reflects on the emotional toll of his lifestyle. Feeling aged by experience and numbed by alcohol, he questions his direction and destiny. His uncertainty about where he’s headed adds to the sense of helplessness, revealing how deep his sense of spiritual dislocation runs.

[Bridge]
The repetition of the earlier pre-chorus further accentuates the emotional weight of his distance from home and belonging. The added line about being too early or too late to call anyone amplifies the loneliness—he’s in a liminal space, stuck between guilt and grace, unsure of how to reach out.

[Chorus]
This final chorus serves as the emotional climax, reiterating his fall from grace, the spiritual emptiness, and the acknowledgment that he still carries the responsibilities and ties of being a son and a father. The plea for the holy ghost becomes more urgent, signaling a man who recognizes that salvation might be his only path back.

[Outro]
In the closing line, Wallen admits he’s difficult to love, blaming it partly on his heritage—suggesting generational pain or inherited flaws. Yet, he again affirms his role as both father and son, closing the song with the same cry for divine intervention, marking the end of a confessional, soul-searching journey.
