I Promised You The World Lyrics

(Aaron Tippin/Bruce Burch/Vern Dant) 
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
