Revelation Lyrics by Morgan Wallen

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 hummin’ Cat’s in the Cradle
Need some Billy Graham on that cable
Instead of Jim Beam sittin’ on a table

Ooh
I’m a long, long way from home
Ooh
But I can still see it through the smoke

I wish I still sang to Jesus
Like the way we used to do at church
Throw ’em out from short, go around the horn
Three up, three down in the first
I’ve been goin’ too hard, I slid pretty far
Yeah, Mama and Heaven both know
I’m a man on the run with a hand on a gun
I’m a father and a son
Who needs that Holy Ghost

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
Seein’ burnin’ out stars in her eyes
It ain’t why God made a sunrise

I wish I still sang to Jesus
Like the way we used to do at church
Throw ’em out from short, go around the horn
Three up, three down in the first
I’ve been goin’ too hard, I slid pretty far
Yeah, Mama and Heaven both know
I’m a man on the run with a hand on a gun
I’m a father and a son
Who needs that Holy Ghost

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

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

I wish I still sang to Jesus
Like the way we used to do at church
Throw ’em out from short, go around the horn
Three up, three down in the first
I’ve been goin’ too hard, I slid pretty far
Yeah, Mama and Heaven both know
I’m a man on the run with a hand on a gun
I’m a father and a son
Who needs that Holy Ghost

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

About "Revelation"

Song Meaning

Revelation” by Morgan Wallen is a deeply introspective track that delves into themes of spiritual disconnection, personal regret, and the haunting weight of generational pain. Through vivid storytelling and emotionally charged imagery, Wallen paints the portrait of a man caught between who he used to be and who he’s become; a father and a son grappling with addiction, loneliness, and the loss of faith. The song blends religious symbolism with country realism, using moments of nostalgia, brokenness, and fleeting hope to reflect a deep yearning for redemption and a return to inner peace.

Song Background

Revelation” is a track from Morgan Wallen’s fourth studio album, I’m the Problem, released on May 16, 2025. The song was co-written by Trannie Anderson, Rodney Clawson, Nicolle Galyon, and Chris Tompkins, and produced by Charlie Handsome and Joey Moi. It serves as a somber, introspective follow-up to the uptempo track “Genesis,” drawing inspiration from the final book of the New Testament to symbolize the narrator’s feelings of being lost while attempting to find himself. The production features a sparse, evocative soundscape, beginning with a simple guitar accompaniment and gradually building with haunting backing vocals to mirror the intensity of Wallen’s performance. This song stands out as one of the hidden gems on the album, both sonically and thematically, showcasing Wallen’s ability to convey vulnerability and depth in his music.

Interpretation

Revelation” by Morgan Wallen is a raw, emotionally layered song that captures the inner turmoil of a man wrestling with his past, his faith, and the weight of generational pain. The title, drawn from the final book of the Bible, symbolizes a personal reckoning—where the narrator confronts the consequences of his actions and the spiritual emptiness left behind. Through stripped-down production and deeply personal lyrics, Wallen portrays a man who feels abandoned, searching for meaning in the chaos of addiction, guilt, and broken family ties. It’s a powerful reflection on how inner battles and lost faith can lead to a desperate need for clarity, peace, and redemption.
