Four Letter Word

Lyrics

[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
