Promises - Randy Travis/Shelby Lynne

Cheap perfume

and painted faces

Fallen angels fill the places

Where I go

when my troubles bring me down

All the lies

I know they'll tell me

And the time that they will sell me

For a while

I'll be the biggest man in town

Back at home

In bed he's crying

For his love for me is dying

But he'll pray I make it safely

through the night

When the morning sun starts showing

To his bedside I'll be going

And he'll hold me

While I face the morning light

And I'll make promises

Promises to change

I'll make her promises

Swear I'll rearrange

And I'll start giving all the

Love she needs if only she

Will stay

Once again

He'll reassure me

And I believe his love will cure me

And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face

And I know she's just a woman

And her love can't last forever

someday soon

I know

She'll leave without a trace

For broken promises

will tear her dreams apart

Just token promises will someday

Break her heart

And for the last time

she'll hold me

When I cry and while I'm sleeping

She'll quietly say goodbye
