The Broken Promise Land

There's a Bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door

And a woman in my arms shouldn't be

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

This cheatin' life is nothing new to me

There's someone to be considered I call her on the phone

And say the job is taking longer that I planned

I don't have the heart to tell her that a stranger's turned me on

And I'm headin' for the broken promise land

Tonight I'm crossing over and I'll reach the cheatin' 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

Found a note left on the dresser and a key left in the door

On the floor I found her golden wedding band

Guess she finally had to tell me she's not waiting anymore

And she's headin' for the broken promise land

Tonight she's crossing over and she'll reach the cheatin' 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

And it's more than I can stand
