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 and I get antsy Real commitment seems absurd Out here in the country Forever is a four letter word We got married in a hurry It was such a lovely day I said do you and 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 and I get antsy Real commitment seems absurd Out here in the country Forever is a four letter word 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 working on her farm and I get antsy Real commitment seems absurd Out here in the country Forever is a four letter word
