Lyrics - I Promised You The World by Tippin Aaron

I had dreams 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 will ain't what
I meant
When
I promised you the world
I lost the farm in
Kansas
Along with a lot of my pride
Then
I almost lost my life
Down in the
West
Virginia mine
And that motel room in
Mephis
Was a long way from diamonds and pearls
And that sure ain't what
I meant
When
I promised you the world
Chorus:
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 aint' 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
Repeat
Chorus
No, this sure ain't what
I meant
When
I promised you the world
