Il testo della I promised you the world

I had dreams that were bigger than the montana sky
And we were gonna do great in great falls
I just knew we were this time
But when winter finally broke, so were we

You'll never know how bad that hurt
'cause this ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world
I lost the farm in kansas along with a lot of pride

Then i almost lost my life down in that west virginia mine
And that motel room in memphis
Was a long way from diamonds and pearls
And that sure ain't what i meant when i promised you the world

I swear your love is stronger than any dream of mine
I've ever drug you through and i swear i wasn't lyin'
They just never did come true

You've always bet on this old gambler
Every time i gave the wheel a whirl
But this ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world

Now this shreveport sun is settin'
On another broken dream of mine
And i guess that mansion on the hill
Is pretty hard to see tonight

But as long as there's a breath of life in me
I'm gonna get it for you, girl
'cause this ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world

I swear your love is stronger than any dream of mine
I've ever drug you through and i swear i wasn't lyin'
They just never did come true

You've always bet on this old gambler
Every time i gave the wheel a whirl
But this ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world

No, this sure ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world
