Four Letter Word
[Verse 1]
Well it's only been two years and she already hates my dog
She's been up and down the street like she don't understand the law
And I'm pining for some time where I ain't looking at her face
And every time she talks to me, I'm staring into space
[Chorus]
And I get antsy
Real commitment seems absurd
Out here in the country
'Forever' is a four letter word
[Verse 2]
We got married in a hurry, it was such a lovely day
I said "Do you?" She said "I do" and now she's here to stay
My independence calls me from a pay phone far away
He says "Listen man, I'm worried, you ain't never been this way"
[Chorus]
And I get antsy
Real commitment seems absurd
Out here in the country
'Forever' is a four letter word
[Verse 3]
Well I grew up in the country with no borders, lines, or lots
But when I moved into the city I built walls around my block
And I crawled into a hole I thought would keep me safe and warm
But she tricked into crawling out and now I'm workin' on her farm
[Chorus]
And I get antsy
Real commitment is absurd
Out here in the country
'Forever' is a four letter word
Well out here in the country
'Forever' is a four letter word
