I Promised You The World Lyrics - Aaron Tippin

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
