Dean Strickland The Commitment Lyrics

The Commitment Lyrics

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: 

I’ve made all these commitments 

To running
this old business 

That you probably think I’ve forgotten 

What’s
most important in my life 

The commitment I made 

To spend it with
you my wife 



There’s an old similar story 

I probably
should’ve 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 

Doesn’t give me much time for nothin’ 

Except
singin’ ‘bout love, and lost love 



But I’ve made myself a promise


When I find that one special girl 

I’ll find time to be there for
her 

So we can share our worlds 

I won’t forget to say 



CHORUS
