Lyrics
Promises Were Gold
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She knows three years was too long to keep waiting
But somehow she was hoping she could change him
Still all his words turned to dust
And who can survive in a love without trust
If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills
And buy that pretty house sittin' high on the hill
If she only had the money for every lie she's been told
She'd be a rich woman now if promises were gold
By six o'clock he'll miss her rusty Chevy
Won't take long to notice dinner isn't ready
Then he'll call up everyone she knows
Saying I'll do her right if she'll only come home
But if promises were gold she could pay off all the bills...
She didn't take much just the heart she once wore on her sleeve
She's leaving behind every line she tried to believe
And if promises were gold she could pay off all the bills...
