The Promise

Living on the west side born and raised
Made a deal with the devil found glory days
There's no way that I'll stay
Driving down the highway 75
Watch the world come down on borrowed time
Find some way to escape
But we all find home
We all find home
Do you remember all the plans we made
Hope and pray for a better day
Tell me whatever happened to the love we gave
The promise that we both betrayed
And the faults we sang
The times we fought for everything
Tell me whatever happened to what I've become
The pain I feel for where I'm from
Hanging from the cross on 50 west
You got a dream and a chance to run from this
I'm locked in believing
Drinking till I'm lost and giving it up
Another day another chance to test my luck
Way out there they won't care
But we can't get out
We can't get out
Do you remember all the plans we made
Hope and pray for a better day
Tell me whatever happened to the love we gave
The promise that we both betrayed
And the faults we sang
The times we fought for everything
Tell me whatever happened to what I've become
The pain I feel for where I'm from
In the city I found my hope
I know, I feel it
My purpose to end it
I can't go home
Do you remember all the plans we made
Hope and pray for a better day
Tell me whatever happened to the love we gave
The promise that we both betrayed
And the faults we sang
The times we fought for everything
Tell me whatever happened to what I've become
The pain I feel for where I'm from
Do you remember all the plans we made
Hope and pray for a better day
Tell me whatever happened to the love we gave
The promise that we both betrayed
And the faults we sang
The times we fought for everything
Tell me whatever happened to what I've become
The pain I feel for where I'm from
