She knows three years was too long to keep waitin

But somehow she was hopin she would change him

Still all his words turned to dust

And who can survive in a love without trust



If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills

And buy that pretty house sitting high on the hill

If she only had the money for every lie she's been told

She'd be a rich woman now, if promises were gold



By six o'clock he'll miss her rusty Chevy

Won't take long to notice dinner isnt ready

Then he'll call up everyone she knows

Sayin I'll do her right if she'll only come home



If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills

And buy that pretty house sitting high on the hill

If she only had the money for every lie she's been told

She'd be a rich woman now, if promises were gold



She didn't take much

Just the heart she once wore on her sleeve

She's leaving behind

Every line she tried to believe



If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills

And buy that pretty house sitting high on the hill

If she only had the money for every lie she's been told

She'd be a rich woman now, if promises were gold
