[Verse 1]
Jenny left that room
Sunken in the chair
One quick night in June
Then she wasn’t there
Forrest held the dawn
Like a cracked-up shell
I kept moving on
But the rumor grew well
[Pre-Chorus]
Then years rolled by
Like a loose-front wheel
And I saw her back
With a tiny heel
Same green eyes
Same stubborn chin
And a little boy
At her side again
[Chorus]
Convenient? Extremely
Say it like you mean it
Convenient? Extremely
Now the past won't leave me
Little Forrest came through
With the same old stare
Convenient? Extremely
Yeah, he’s already there
[Verse 2]
Toddler on her hip
Mud on tiny shoes
Reaching for my hand
Like he always knew
He knocked over cups
In the kitchen light
Jenny smiled too calm
For a wrong or right
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, “Let it ride”
Like a card on flame
But the whole town heard
And they knew her name
I looked at the kid
Then I looked away
Same small jawline
Same boxy frame
[Chorus]
Convenient? Extremely
Say it like you mean it
Convenient? Extremely
Now the past won't leave me
Little Forrest came through
With the same old stare
Convenient? Extremely
Yeah, he’s already there
[Bridge]
One night only
Then a whole new life
One small body
Cutting through the lie
She didn’t ask soft
She didn’t explain
Just put him in my arms
And said my name
[Final Chorus]
Convenient? Extremely
Say it like you mean it
Convenient? Extremely
Now the past won't leave me
Little Forrest came through
With the same old stare
Convenient? Extremely
Yeah, he’s already there
[Outro]
Toddler footsteps
On my floor
One night opened
A brand new door
