This song was a long time coming. Started in 2017 ... never 'clicked'! Finally made some sense out of the concept in April 2020.

Lyrics

Now it’s been ten hard years you say
To me it’s seemed a sun-drenched “four"
I can’t believe you’re-telling-me
Tellin’ me you’re late for the door

If our marriage is a screen play
We’re wrappin’ act two
Girl it ain’t that bad
Don’t ya dare say we’re through

You don’t fool me; don’t even try
I really don’t think; you want to say goodbye
I know there’s flies in the kitchen
Our old truck’s about to die
But you don’t fool me; don’t even try

There was a sweet love song in my heart
Don’t change it to a heart break tune
By mopin’ ‘round; sportin’ sad-girl shoes
Warnin’ me; here come the blues

I heard you singin’ goodbye songs
In the backyard by the swimmin’ pool
But girl; they all had happy endings
Who do you think you’re tryin’ to fool

So I think the tide’s ‘a turnin’
Cue the music for act three
That flame you can’t hide
Will again burn for me

You don’t fool me; don’t even try
I really don’t think; you want to say goodbye
I-know-there’s flies in the kitchen
Our old truck’s about to die
But you don’t fool me; don’t even try

Your lips keep sayin' no
I keep on sayin' why
You say its time to go
But I say otherwise

You don’t fool me; don’t even try
I really don’t think; you want to say goodbye
I-know there’s flies in the kitchen
Our old truck’s about to die
But you don’t fool me; don’t even try
