Forever

She walks down to the river
Says Lord, help me out of this mess
I got 750 dollars
And it’s time for a new address
Someplace a little safer
Far from all his craziness
Cause you know sometimes forever’s just a little too long
I say it’s a little too long

She says, eighteen when we married
I meant every single word I said
Forgive me Lord for leaving
And taking that gun out from underneath our bed
I’d throw it in the water
But that man’s got the devil all up inside of his head
And you know sometimes forever’s just a little too long
I say it’s a little too long

Don’t you know that sometimes forever’s
just a little too long
I say it’s a little too long
Love ain’t supposed to hurt so much
And the days aren’t meant to drag on and on
And if I didn’t care about what tomorrow might bring
Then I wouldn’t be gone
I wouldn’t be gone

But you know that sometimes forever’s just a little too long
I say it’s a little too long

She wades out in the water
To wash away her sins
She don’t care about tomorrow
She just gone, she never coming back again
