Forever After All

Luke Combs

A cold beer’s got 12 ounces

A good truck’s got maybe three hundred thousand

You only get so much until it’s gone

Duracells in a Maglite

A needle drop on a 45

Are the kinda things that only last so long

When the new wears off, and they get to getting old

Sooner or later, time’s gonna take its toll

They say nothing lasts forever

But they ain’t seen us together

Or the way the moonlight dances in your eyes

Just a T-shirt in the kitchen

With no makeup and a million

Other things that I could look at my whole life

A love like that makes a man have second thoughts

Maybe some things last forever after all

FM station on the outskirts

Blue jeans after years of shift work

All fading out like I always knew they would

The strings on this guitar

The first love lost on a young heart

Those things are gonna break after the getting’s good

’Cause the new wears off and they get to getting old

Yeah, sooner or later, time’s gonna take its toll

They say nothing lasts forever

But they ain’t seen us together

Or the way the moonlight dances in your eyes

Just a T-shirt in the kitchen

With no makeup and a million

Other things that I could look at my whole life

A love like that makes a man have second thoughts

Maybe some things last forever after all

Well, they say nothing lasts forever

But they ain’t seen us together

Or the way the moonlight dances in your eyes

And I know there’ll be that moment

The good Lord calls one of us home and

One won’t have the other by their side

But heaven knows that that won’t last too long

Maybe some things last forever after all

After all

Background

“Forever After All,” which Combs wrote for his deluxe album “What You See Ain’t Always What You Get,” is all about eternal and unconditional love. The singer remains true to his country roots by singing about the embodiment of being a good man, how to love a woman right and embracing blue-grass and honky-tonk melodies. He does not need the flirty lyrics or synthetic beats, as his hoarse and timeless voice is more than enough compensation.
