Lyric I Promised You The World - Aaron Tippin

Lyric Song I Promised You The World: 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 brokeso 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 yougirl
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

Nothis sure ain t what I meant
When I promised you the world
