Assignment 5 

“Together Forever”

Driving with the sun in my eyes - I remember, 
our last summer back at home, skinny dipping in the river. 
We were young and in love, eager to explore the world - together;
ready for College and the life we'd hoped for - together - forever.

We packed up our things, headed off to school - that September.
I spent the first semester alone, skipping class and drinking liquor.
You worked hard, were never done, we rarely spent time together.
I’m all done with school- let’s pack up and go home- together- forever.

CHORUS
Then you told me, - "My darling - I’ve outgrown the COUNTRY.
I don’t know why, I may be wrong, but I feel so strong.
I know we can’t go back together, my heart is now here in the City forever - and I'm sorry - so sorry.”

Years later, I drove by your house - in my old Chevy truck.
You were on the front porch swing, lookin down on your luck- you said,
“I'm happy to see you, you look mighty fine for an old buck
and me I’m living the life I wanted forever” - Bridge

BRIDGE
On the swing with the sun in her eyes - she remembered, 
their last summer back at home on her daddy’s farm.
Lazy days and skinny dipping in the river;
quiet nights and her head resting on my arm.

CHORUS
Then you told me, “My darling - I miss the COUNTRY
I don’t know why, I may be wrong, but I feel so strong.
I know we can’t go back together my heart is still here in the city forever - and I'm sorry - so sorry.”
