The Commitment Lyrics - Dean Strickland

Sad former brother-in-law 

It's such a shame 

How common place 

Single parenting is these days 

Your first mistake 

Was letting work get in the way 

The long hours you kept 

Gave her time to stray 

Imagine what could've been 

Had you been with her to say 

CHORUS: 

Ive made all these commitments 

To running this old business 

That you probably think Ive forgotten 

Whats most important in my life 

The commitment I made 

To spend it with you my wife 

Theres an old similar story 

I probably shouldve told you before 

You see, my father was a real hard worker 

He spent his days and nights doing chores 

But wiser than the new generation 

He knew when enough was enough 

And he never forgot or left lonesome 

The only woman he ever loved 

He'd say to her 

CHORUS 

Now, the long nights I spend 

In the honky tonks and clubs 

Doesnt give me much time for nothin 

Except singin bout love, and lost love 

But Ive made myself a promise 

When I find that one special girl 

Ill find time to be there for her 

So we can share our worlds 

I wont forget to say 

CHORUS
