Waylon Jennings - The Broken Promise Land Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • VERSE:
  • There's a bible on the dresser,
  • and a sign hung on the door,
  • and a woman in my arms that shouldn't be.
  • I'm to the point of no returning,
  • but I've been here before.
  • This cheating life is nothing new to me.
  • There's someone to be considered,
  • I call her on the phone,
  • and say the job is taking longer than I planned
  • I dont have the heart to tell her,
  • that a stranger turned me on,
  • and I'm heading for the broken promise land
  • CHORUS:
  • Tonight I'm crossing over
  • and I'll reach the cheating side
  • and I'll hate myself for coming here again.
  • Where the streets are paved with misery
  • and lives are built on lies,
  • the place they call the broken promise land
  • VERSE:
  • Found the note left on the dresser,
  • and the key left in the door,
  • and on the floor I found her golden wedding band.
  • Guess she finally had to tell me,
  • she's not waiting here no more,
  • and she heading for the broken promise land.
  • CHORUS:
  • Tonight she's crossing over
  • and she'll reach the cheating side
  • and I'll hate myself for giving her the chance.
  • 'Cause the streets are paved with misery
  • and lives are built on lies.
  • The place they call the broken promise land.
  • ...and its more than I can stand.
