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
