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
