Broken Promise Land Lyrics - Mark Chesnutt

There's a Bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door 

And a woman in my arms who shouldn't be 

I'm to the point of no returning but I've been here before 

This cheating life is nothing new to me 

There's someone to be considered so I call her on the phone 

And say the job is taking longer than I planned I don't have the heart to tell her 

That a stranger's turned me on and I'm headed for 

The boken promise land 

[Chorus:] 

Tonight, I'm crossing over and I'll reach the cheating side 

And I'll hate myself for coming here again 

Where the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on lies 

A place they call the broken promise land 

I found a note left on the dresser and a key left in the door 

And on the floor I found her goldeb wedding band 

Guess she finally had to tell me She's not waiting anymore 

She's headed for the broken promise land 

[Chorus II:] 

Tonight she's crossing over and she'll reach the cheating side 

And I'll hate myself for giving her the chance 

Cause the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on lies 

a place they call the broken promise land
