If Promises Were Gold Lyrics - Linda Davis

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 isn't 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
