I Promised You The World

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