|
She knows three years was too long
|
to keep waiting
|
But somehow she was hoping she could
|
change him
|
Still all his dreams turned to dust
|
And who can survive in a love without trust
|
|
If promises were gold she could pay off
|
all the bills
|
And buy that pretty house sittin high
|
on the hill
|
If she only had the money for every lie
|
she's been told
|
She'd be a rich woman now
|
If promises were gold
|
|
Buy 6 o'clock he'll miss her rusty Chevy
|
Won't take long to notice dinner
|
isn't ready
|
Then he'll call up everyone she knows
|
Sayin "I'll do her right" if she'll only
|
come home
|
|
But, if promises were gold she could pay off
|
all the bills
|
And buy that pretty house sittin high
|
on the hill
|
If she only had the money for every lie
|
she's been told
|
She'd be a rich woman now
|
If promises were gold
|
|
She didn't take much, just the heart she
|
once wore on her sleeve
|
She's leavin behind every lie she
|
tried to believe
|
|
And if promises were gold she could pay off
|
all the bills
|
And buy that pretty house sittin high
|
on the hill
|
If she only had the money for every lie
|
she's been told
|
She'd be a rich woman now
|
If promises were gold
|
