Lukas Nelson, Promise of the Real - Four Letter Word

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
