Analysis of FOREVER
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
All hair balls and cattle calls
You won’t obey the traffic laws
You tell me that you know God’s Word
Why won’t you do the things you’ve heard?
I know you hear; that’s what you say
But you just simply won’t obey
So, this time hasten do not delay
Its time for you to go away
