I Promised You The World lyrics
I had dreams bigger than the Montana sky
And we were gonna do great in Great Falls
I just knew we were this time
But when winter finally broke, so were we
You ll never know how bad that hurt
Cause this will ain t what I meant
When I promised you the world
I lost the farm in Kansas
Along with a lot of my pride
Then I almost lost my life
Down in the West Virginia mine
And that motel room in Mephis
Was a long way from diamonds and pearls
And that sure ain t what I meant
When I promised you the world
Chorus:
I swear your love is stronger
Than any dream of mine I ve ever drug you through
And I swear I wasn t lyin
They just never did come true
You ve always bet on this old gambler
Every time I gave the wheel a whirl
But this aint what I meant
When I promised you the world
Now this Shreveport sun is settin
On another broken dream of mine
And I guess that mansion on the hill
Is pretty hard to see tonight
But as long as there s a breath of life in me
I m gonna get it for you, girl
Cause this ain t what I meant
When I promised you the world
Repeat Chorus
No, this sure ain t what I meant
When I promised you the world
