Broken Promise Land

There¡¯s a Bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door

And a woman in my arms who shouldn¡¯t be

I¡¯m to the point of no returning but I¡¯ve been here before

This cheating life is nothing new to me

There¡¯s someone to be considered so I call her on the phone

And say the job is taking longer than I planned I don¡¯t have the heart to tell her

That a stranger¡¯s turned me on and I¡¯m headed for

The boken promise land

Chorus:

Tonight, I¡¯m crossing over and I¡¯ll reach the cheating side

And I¡¯ll 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 She¡¯s not waiting anymore

She¡¯s headed for the broken promise land

Chorus II:

Tonight she¡¯s crossing over and she¡¯ll reach the cheating side

And I¡¯ll 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
