"Forever Ain't As Long As It Seems"
© 2020 / Hank Thomas Music

V1
She rolled into the driveway , opened up her trunk
I guess she changed her mind coz she's bringing back her junk
It's been a couple weeks now, since I've seen her face
She said she won't be coming back, for ever and a day
Now she's accepted my apology, said let's put this to bed

V2
We had a knock down drag out blow-up on the first of May
We both said a lot of things nobody can un-say
I called and texted, told her just how sorry that I am
I never should have criticized how she looked in that dress
Now we're lyin' here together after double make-up sex


CH 1
My momma told me boy don't you stir up that hornet's nest
Don't let your mouth start running before listening to your head
I say things without thinking even when I'm at my best
If there'a a lesson to be learned right here from all this awful mess
It should be that forever is a long in between
But it's looking like forever ain't as long as it seems

V3
I sure do love that woman but sometimes when I drink
I oughta start by pourin' that whole bottle down the sink
I'm lucky she's forgivin' and loves me too, I think
This won't be the last time I pushed her to the brink
But it's looking like forever ain't as long as it seems

CH 2
My momma told me boy don't you stir up that hornet's nest
Don't let your mouth start running before listening to your head
I say things without thinking even when I'm at my best
If there'a a lesson to be learned right here from all this awful mess
It should be that forever is a long in between
But it's looking like forever ain't as long as it seems


Repeat CH
