Broken Promise Land — текст песни (Mark Chesnutt)

Theres a Bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door

And a woman in my arms who shouldnt be

Im to the point of no returning but Ive been here before

This cheating life is nothing new to me

Theres someone to be considered so 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 strangers turned me on and Im headed for

The boken promise land



Chorus:

Tonight, Im crossing over and Ill reach the cheating side

And Ill hate myself for coming here again

Where the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on lies

A place they call the broken promise land



I found a note left on the dresser and a key left in the door

And on the floor I found her goldeb wedding band

Guess she finally had to tell me shes not waiting anymore

Shes headed for the broken promise land



Chorus ii:

Tonight shes crossing over and shell reach the cheating side

And Ill hate myself for giving her the chance

Cause the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on lies

A place they call the broken promise land
