I Promised You The World — текст песни (Aaron Tippin)

I had dreams that were 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 ain`t what I meant
When I promised you the world
I lost the farm in Kansas
Along with a lot of pride
Then I almost lost my life
Down in that West Virginia mine
And that motel room in Memphis
Was a long way from diamonds and pearls
And that sure ain`t what I meant
When I promised you the world

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 ain`t 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

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 ain`t what I meant
When I promised you the world

No, this sure ain`t what I meant
When I promised you the world
